Our Vision

Revolutionize Player Recognition

At Eugene D. Franklin Foundationn, we have a bold vision for our young football players. We want to revolutionize the way these players are recognized through awards and events that interact with the fans, and the community. We will also be providing platforms such as podcasts, (The Grind) interviews,  and other events that are more engaging, informative, and inclusive. 

Cutting-Edge Music, Technology, & Football Center

The Eugene D. Franklin Foundation’s Music, Technology, & Football Center will one day serve young people in Sebastian and Crawford Counties with: 


  • Music lessons guided by skilled instructors.
  • Access to recording and production studios for creativity and collaboration.
  • Quiet study spaces and technology resources that support school success and lifelong learning.
  • Football Hall of Glory
  • Resources for college for football players and students.
