Virginia Tech helped shape who I am. Few people embody the values of hard work, humility, and service better than @coachfostervt & @rossiadam. The Lunch Pail isn’t just a football tradition, it’s a reflection of a region and its people. Help grow this impact.

[Adam Rossi @rossiadam]

I went to Virginia Tech because it was a land-grant university that offered a strong, affordable technical education.

After growing up working on farms and construction sites, it felt like it was made for people like me.

So did the lunch pail.

@coachfostervt coached the Virginia Tech defense for 33 years. His players competed for the right to carry a beat-up coal miner's lunch pail each week.

It symbolizes blue-collar work ethic built into an object and became one of the most recognized traditions in college football.

In 2009, still coaching, he built the Lunch Pail Defense Foundation around the same idea, putting money behind kids in Southwest Virginia from families where college isn't the assumed path.

Since then the foundation has distributed more than a million dollars. Bud hasn't taken a cent, and the board are all volunteers.

Every dollar goes out the door into direct support for Southwest Virginia families.

Scholarships for Virginia Tech students, community college tuition for high school grads, healthcare for uninsured families, and direct support for families dealing with childhood cancer.

If you care about Southwest Virginia, please help me get the word out about the Lunchpail Defense Foundation.

Watch the video I recorded with Coach Foster below. Share it if it lands.

Please sign up to the mailing list at https://t.co/wyclgFM1cb.

This is what the lunch pail means off the field.
