About the program
In a world that is rapidly evolving, it is crucial to lay a strong foundation for the leaders of tomorrow. The Champions of Valor Program draws inspiration from a remarkable group of individuals who, during the dawn of World War II, set aside their passion and Major League Baseball careers to bravely serve our country. Their commitment and selflessness serve as a beacon for the youth of today, guiding them towards a life of purpose and honor.
"Champions of Valor" is more than a phrase; it's a call to action, an invitation to embody the highest ideals of service, sacrifice, legacy, and citizenship. It signifies a deep commitment to principles that not only elevate the individual but also contribute significantly to the betterment of society as a whole.
The educational pillars of the program envisioned by BFAOV Vice President & Education Chair, Steve Curtis, Command Sergeant Major U.S. Army (Ret.) are rooted in evidence-based theories endorsed by the U.S. Department of Education’s What Works Clearinghouse. These theories have been proven effective in character education, focusing on youth character development through innovative methods. The Champions of Valor Program leverages the power of role models, interactive activities, and historical biographies to instill character traits that will shape our future leaders.
