Brad realizes how blessed he was to have two living parents (and a sister) support him through his youth and ultimately be at his side as he achieved his goals of graduating college, and later, becoming a Major League pitcher. With several members of the Military in his family, he has always understood and respected the ultimate sacrifice facing members of our Armed Forces and their families. He founded PFP to help service members and their families get respite from the intensity of this commitment and the Tickets for Troops program has been a successful program toward this endeavor. However, PFP's next initiative will address those youth whose parents have laid down their lives for our freedom. Brad feels so blessed and fortunate to have have had both of his loving parents to assist him at every step along the way. PFP is now addressing the challenges many of our youth face after losing a parent who was killed while serving in our country’s military. Brad's appreciation of his own parents and his dedication to assisting kids most in need triggered the idea of funding scholarships for a few such young people who wish to continue their education but might otherwise be hindered financially by having lost a parent who gave the ultimate sacrifice, fighting for our rights and freedoms.

PFP has embarked on an annual partnership with the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund to offer this assistance to select high school seniors who fit this criteria. For more information on available programs, please visit their website at freedomalliance.org.
