​
Cabarrus Healthcare Foundation is pleased to announce a grant it has received for a second year from NASCAR Driver Brad Keselowski’s Checkered Flag Foundation will continue funding the Veterans Recognition Program at Atrium Health Cabarrus.  During a presentation held at Atrium Health Cabarrus on June 17, 2021, Brad Keselowski’s Checkered Flag Foundation presented a check in the amount of $114,350 to the Foundation and Hospital leadership to continue supporting the Veterans Recognition Program at Atrium Health Cabarrus.  


The program, launched in early 2020 started as a need identified by a caring, committed and dedicated nurse who wanted to recognize veteran patients.  Like the Checkered Flag Foundation, Atrium Health Cabarrus wants to continue to honor and assist those who have sacrificed greatly for our country through the establishment of the Veterans Recognition Program.

April is designated as Month of the Military Child (MOMC), a time to celebrate the resiliency and strength of children within military families. One way that Brad Keselowski and the Checkered Flag Foundation will recognize MOMC is by hosting a virtual auction giving supporters a chance to put the name of their beloved military child on Brad Keselowski’s No. 2 Team Penske Ford Mustang for the April races at Martinsville, Richmond & Talladega.

Three different children will be selected to have their name in purple letters – the official color of MOMC - above Brad’s passenger side door. While Brad Keselowski has raced with his name in purple letters before, this year the program returns in a unique way to allow families the opportunity to nominate a loved one. Part of CFF’s mission is to honor military members and their families who all make sacrifices.

​Brad Keselowski’s Checkered Flag Foundation (BKCFF) recently celebrated the graduation of service canine Khaos to her new owner and handler, United States Navy veteran Matt Wheeler. Khaos became the second certified service canine to be awarded to a deserving military veteran through the BKCFF Service Dog Fund, a grant program that sponsors the full cost of preparing and training canines for veteran service through the experienced training team at Black Paw Canine. 

Meet the Heroes

Matthew Wheeler: Matthew Wheeler worked as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Operator in the United States Navy for more than 15 years and retired in August of 2019. During his service  he was injured twice due to explosions. When Matt started researching different options for service dogs, he pursued a few different avenues, but none proved to be the best fit. That is until he found the team at Black Paw Canine who worked with the Checkered Flag Foundation to award Matt his service dog Khaos – and at no cost to him or his family. 
 
Khaos: Khaos is a Belgian Malinois and German Shepherd who comes from a long line of working dogs. Both Khaos and her sister Tango were trained at Black Paw Canine and have graduated to become certified service dogs in their respective training areas. 
 
The Checkered Flag Foundation is excited to continue their partnership with Black Paw Canine for years to come and will continue to work hand-in-hand with their team to connect heroes through the Service Dog Fund.
