Why is the Mission of Chad’s Champions important to you?
Joey Delarosa, president
“Both to honor my dear friend Chadwick and help underprivileged youth stay involved with activities they care about. Creating positive change for our community.”
Charmaine wright, secretary
“The Mission is my heart and soul keeping Chadwick’s memory and legacy alive. Chad was a man of principle, bravery, compassion and loyalty to name a few. As his Mother I am here to keep his song alive and by that we must keep on singing!!! Chad and I knew the struggles of paying for organized sports but the benefits far outweighed any cost. Credit card debt here I come. I don’t want families to have to struggle financially to be able to send their children to play sports and miss out on a long, lasting experience.”
Vernon Mickle
“Giving back on any level matters to me”
kyle summers, Vice president
“Chad was a close childhood friend of mine and by growing up in Tucson I am invested to changing the lives of the community.”
Mark Addington, Treasurer
“Like Chad, I am a Tucson native, and I know how important sports and community were to him and I would like to help carry that on by giving back to the community as well.”
Frank Emmert
“The mission is important to me due to the synergy between the elements it was founded on. Those elements being friendship, youth, community, and service. I never had the privilege of meeting Chad, but his legacy has inspired me by the love of the people that still keep his name alive. I look forward to getting more involved in the Tucson community I currently live in and being in a position where I can carry a more active role. I truly believe in the core values of this organization and recognize the potential it has. Advocacy is important, especially for the underprivileged youth whose voice often garners less of a response.”
