About Us
Our Story
In 2009, Brad visited Walter Reed Medical Center, the world’s largest joint military medical center that serves as the flagship of military medicine. It was there, while visiting patients injured in the line of duty, that he became inspired to give back to the men and women that answered the call to serve our country. Brad founded The Checkered Flag Foundation the following year in 2010.
Our Mission
The mission of the Foundation is to honor and assist those who have sacrificed greatly for our country and communities. The Foundation accomplishes its mission by providing charitable assistance to individuals and families suffering financial, medical, or other hardship resulting from service to the United States or communities within.
The Foundation is a grant-making, private foundation based in Mooresville, NC, that raises funds throughout the year primarily through its signature fundraising events. Through a comprehensive and objective application process, the Foundation’s staff and board select funding recipients, aiming to empower military professionals, Veterans, first responders, and other national heroes and their families to live a better life.
