A child of a military family himself, with both his father and currently his sister serving our country, Drayton Florence, cornerback for the Buffalo Bills and founder of the Drayton Florence Foundation, is all too aware of the challenges families face during these deployments. It is because of this passion for our local heroes that he has expanded the mission of his foundation to educate, motivate and stimulate youth, preparing them for a lifetime of success, to specifically serve children of local military families.
2011 marks the second year that the Drayton Florence Foundation has partnered with the Wounded Warrior Project to provide Buffalo Bills tickets to our troops wounded while serving our country. Later this year, the foundation will host a holiday party for our western New York military families, complete with gifts, games and activities for the entire family. In addition, through partnerships with local organizations dedicated to providing support to our troops, the Drayton Florence Foundation plans to create a mentoring program right here in Buffalo for children of military families. Through this unique program, children will be paired with an adult who shared the same unique experiences in their childhood.
