With the incredible involvement and support from the community, we realize that the benefits of this endeavor have the potential to be more far-reaching than we could have ever hoped or imagined. This is a true testament to the life that Brody lived, to his spirit that remains; one of love and benevolence, kindness and consideration, enthusiasm and joy.

With this evolution and renaming, our goal is to take #belikebrody from the basketball court to the community, to offer financial assistance to other worthwhile causes in our area and beyond. The Brody Michael Athletic Scholarship Fund, with its annual scholarship award, will remain a priority component of The Brody Michael Foundation as sports, especially basketball, were so dear to Brody and had an enormous impact on his life. Yet this larger umbrella will permit focus on other areas in which Brody was active, such as academics, volunteer work, and much more, as Brody excelled not only in basketball, but in many interests that made him the person that we love, admire, and honor.

We are truly grateful for the outpouring of warmth and generosity, likes, shares, and donations made in Brody’s memory and invite you to continue this show of solidarity and support as we expand further into our community, showcasing Brody’s life and legacy. With The Brody Michael Foundation, we will not let Brody’s brilliant light dim and will be in a position to benefit other worthy causes in our area, keeping Brody’s name and what it means to BE LIKE BRODY in the forefront.
