What are we about?
The Bob Feller Act of Valor Foundation, is named after the Hall of Fame pitcher and World War 2 veteran. It is focused on carrying forward the values of Service, Sacrifice, Citizenship, and Legacy.
We work to accomplish this in 3 ways:
The Champions of Valor program, connects young people with veteran role models to help teach the 4 pillars of leadership, these include service, sacrifice, citizenship and legacy.
Our annual awards ceremony honors active-duty Sailors and Marines whose service reflects the highest ideals of the Foundation and the legacy of Bob Feller.
With the Act of Valor Award we also recognize the powerful connection between baseball and military service by honoring an active Major League Baseball player, a Hall of Famer, and a United States Navy Chief Petty Officer selected for the way they demonstrate support for active-duty service members, veterans and youth enrichment.
Through these programs, we enable veterans to be both seen and heard.
The Bob Feller Act of Valor Foundation's Champions of Valor Program was designed to instill the values of service, sacrifice, citizenship, and legacy in today’s youth. These 4 Educational Pillars of leadership reflect the traits of a historical and extraordinary group of 40 individuals who put their passion and Major League Baseball careers on hold to bravely serve our country during the start of WWII.
