About the NQBC
The National Quarterback Club is guided by a comprehensive mission, a clear vision, and consistent values. Through various award programs, we recognize outstanding athletes for their qualities and achievements on and off the playing field and serve as a model for comprehensive excellence in athletic achievement, academic success, and greater social affinity.
The Quarterback Club was founded in 1985 as a non-profit organization by originator and long-time sports advocate, Robert J. Geoghan. The group initially served as a social sports organization specifically hosting the annual luncheons for his hometown team, the Washington Redskins.
In 1985, celebrating its 20th year of continuous support, he expanded the reach of the club to create the National Quarterback Club to bring national attention to the top quarterbacks from professional, collegiate and high school ranks.
The Tradition
In 1985, the National Quarterback Club began a tradition of hosting annual fundraising events to honor the National Quarterback of the Year recipients. Annual awards dinners have been hosted in great sports cities such as Washington DC (1986-1991, 2004-2006), Miami (1992), Tampa Bay (1993), Jacksonville (1994, 1995), Charlotte (1996), Green Bay (1997, 1998), Denver (1999), St. Louis (2000), Minneapolis (2001), Houston (2002), and Scottsdale, Ariz. (2018). With continued support from sponsors, athletes and host cities, the National Quarterback Club Awards Dinner has remained popular through its lifetime.
