In 2002, Buddy founded Kids & Pros, a non-profit 501c3 corporation and character-based youth sports organization that engages retired NFL Players in their communities to teach football fundamental skills & character lessons to youth ages 7 – 13. Under Buddy’s guidance, Kids & Pros recently received a significant grant from the Atlanta Falcons Youth Foundation. The motto of Kids & Pros is “developing character and skills through athletics.” The organization is grounded in 5 core life principals: sportsmanship, integrity, excellence, perseverance, and teamwork.

In 2013, Buddy became a Master Trainer with USA Football, the Official Youth Football Development Partner of the National Football. At our Awards Breakfast next month, Buddy will speak on the importance on safety in children’s sports, and how to keep our kids on the field and out of the doctor’s office. It’s not too late to join our event! RESERVE YOUR SEATS TODAY and check out more information at www.safekidsgeorgia.org/awardsbreakfast2015.
