THE PLAZA OF INFLUENCE

The Plaza of Influence is a special place where football coaches can be honored by those whose lives they have inspired. These coaches range from the obscure to the nationally known. The common bond is their profound influence on lives touched and changed.

The Foundation has already received tremendous support for this effort and is looking forward to the honoring of many more coaches for their impact on the lives of those around them.
