Please Welcome Honorary Chair

Craig Cunningham

We are honored to welcome Craig Cunningham, COO of the Autobahn Country Club, as our 22nd Annual Goombay Bash Honorary Chair!

The importance of having a closely-knit family was a value instilled in Craig’s life from the very beginning by his parents Bill and Carol Cunningham. Craig, his sister Dawn, and brother Todd were blessed with having very close relationships with their grandparents, and many aunts, uncles, cousins and extended family members. These family values continued into Craig’s own family. Craig and his wife of 35 years, Jackie, have 3 beautiful children: Connor, Kyle and Kaylee.

Cancer became personal to Craig's sister Dawn in her mid-forties, when she battled and beat Breast Cancer. Later in life, Dawn was diagnosed with Glioblastoma. Dawn, her husband Rob, and their two children Charlie and Eva were brave and resilient during this short battle with a very aggressive cancer. The Cunningham family lost Dawn on January 13th, 2021 at the age of 57. She donated all of her organs for research and would be proud that the Cunningham family is contributing to the mission of the H Foundation.

Craig's involvement with The H Foundation began well before accepting the role of Honorary Chair of the Goombay Bash. After meeting John Rot and The H Foundation team through a mutual friend, Tim Tyrrell, the Autobahn Country Club, the leader and innovator of the motorsports club industry for 20 years, has graciously hosted The H Foundation’s Karting for Cancer event since 2021. As Chief Operating Officer of the Autobahn Country Club, Craig’s leadership role is focused on creating positive member experiences, developing business relationships, increasing shareholder value, and building the management team.

“At the age of 56, my sister Dawn was diagnosed with glioblastoma. I made a call to a good, dear friend, Tim Tyrrell. And if you know Timmy T, he’s a retired NFL football player, and Timmy T knows everyone. Timmy said, “Craig, I have to introduce you to John Rot and the team at the H Foundation. I believe they can help. And they did."
