Anthony Barr is a professional football player, in his third contract year. He attended UCLA and majored in Sociology before being drafted to the Minnesota Vikings as the 9th overall pick in the 2014 draft. While attending UCLA, and throughout his high school experience at Loyola High School, Anthony as involved in various service projects and participated in charitable events. These experiences shaped his desire to be a “Man for Others” and give back to those most in need. July 2015, Anthony held his first ever free football camp for local youth throughout Los Angeles. The event was such a success, that he and his mother Lori decided it was time for him to take the next step with his dream to create an organization that supported single mothers in their desire to pursue higher education. More than Anthony’s success on the football field, the ‘Foundation’ will become Anthony’s legacy long after this football career ends.

Anthony is currently employed by the Minnesota Vikings Football in the National Football League
