Prior to winning his first Southern 500, Brad Keselowski and the Checkered Flag Foundation hosted a group of service members and their families at Darlington Raceway. The event was a portion of a growing partnership between the foundation and the National Military Family Association (NMFA), a nonprofit that strengthens military families.

I’m honored that we can continue to support the NMFA and the work that they’re doing to help wounded service members and their families prepare for the challenges faced during recovery with these Operation Purple Healing Adventures,” said Keselowski back in May. “I have Paige to thank for insisting last year that we work with organizations like the NMFA that support military families in addition to the soldier. It’s a great feeling knowing that our foundation is helping so many people who have sacrificed for our country.” ​
