The Pat Tillman Foundation

I just finished  Jon Krakauer's book Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman. As you may recall, Pat Tillman was an NFL player who quit his lucrative career after 9/11 and joined the Army Rangers. He died in 2004 in Afghanistan. He was an amazing man, a true modern day hero who did the right thing no matter the sacrifice it entailed.

His wife, family and friends started the Pat Tillman Foundation in his honor. The foundation has three primary programs:

• Tillman Military Scholars - To honor their service and support their continued leadership, we offer scholarships to veteran and active servicemembers and their dependents (children and spouses) to help them pursue their greater educational goals.
• Tillman Scholars - Arizona State University (ASU) - Through a rigorous leadership development and service-learning curriculum, we challenge the leaders of tomorrow to apply their passions and talents to promote positive change in their communities today.
• Tillman Social Action Fund - For students or student groups initiating projects throughout the U.S. we provide resources to help them implement their own plans for social action.
