THE PONTIAC ALUMNI FOUNDATION is hosting a Gala at Ronnie McNeir’s Sunset Island Night Club, 7 N/ Saginaw, Pontiac, MI.
The celebration has dual purposes: 1) to showcase some of the exciting programs available in the Pontiac school district, 2) honoring some of our successful Pontiac graduates. One of our honorees is Larry Brinker who was raised in Pontiac, graduated from Pontiac Northern high school, went on to college and after getting his degree came back and worked for a local Pontiac company as a carpenter apprentice.
After moving up thru the ranks at this company stepped out in 1989 to start his own business, Brinker Group. Today the Brinker Group employs over 800 people and does more than $300 million in business each year. Mr Brinker wants to give something back to the school district that provided a foundation for his future success. We have others who are being honored this year. So look forward to joining our celebration at the 2025 Alumni Gala. All monies raised are used to augment the programs or students in Pontiac schools.
