Brown & Brown and M. Neal Holdings to sponsor Adair Athletics

From Adair Co. Athletics

Adair County Athletics is proud to announce a new five-year sponsorship agreement with Brown & Brown, Inc. and M. Neal Holdings, LLC. The multi-year donation is the largest sponsorship to date for the Adair County Athletics program. Brown & Brown, Inc. will pay over a five-year period to sponsor various marketing initiatives including naming rights on the ACHS gym floor and title sponsor rights for the Athletics Hall of Fame that is slated to launch in the fall of 2023.

"Sponsorships like this will help us take our athletic programs to the next level," said Craig Biggs, District Athletic Director for Adair County Schools. "Adair County's student athletes will benefit in many ways for years to come, and I want to express my sincere appreciation to Mike Neal and Brown & Brown for their generosity."


Brown & Brown, Inc. is the fifth largest independent insurance brokerage in the United States. They provide risk management solutions to help protect what customers value most.

They specialize in personal lines insurance (auto, RV, homeowners, etc.), commercial lines coverage for all businesses with a niche market in RV and auto dealership coverage, and F&I products and training for RV and automotive dealers across the country.

Mike Neal, President of M. Neal Holdings, LLC, is a 1987 graduate of Adair County High School. Although a cardiovascular issue prevented him from participating in high school athletics, he worked very closely with both basketball and football programs announcing games on local radio. After graduation he also served as president of the ACHS Boys Basketball boosters. He started his insurance career at Commonwealth Life Insurance Company. In 1991, he began working at Reed Brothers Insurance. In 1996, he became a partner and opened his second main street shop in a neighboring town. Mike started a niche marketing business selling commercial insurance to dealers in RV, used auto, powersports and manufactured housing. The revenues for his agency exceeded $4 million in 2008. That same year, Mike sold the niche marketing book of business with revenues of $2.4 million and joined Brown & Brown as President of Brown & Brown, Inc. of Kentucky.

Today, he continues to lead all of Brown & Brown of KY and is also President of Brown & Brown Dealer Services, a division within Brown & Brown devoted to auto and RV dealer training and F&I products. Profit centers operating under the BBDS umbrella include Automotive Development Group, F&I Resources, Dealer Associates, United Development Systems, MBA Insurance--an RV rental insurance office, and Vehicle Administrative Services--a roadside assistance and ancillary product provider.
