SCHOLARSHIP
Brandon was very involved in extra-curricular activities around Rockridge High School, his favorite being basketball. During his illness and intensive rounds of chemotherapy Brandon continued participating in the things he loved. During this time he could always be found on the basketball court, only missing three games while getting treatment. Because of his love for the game, the Brandon M. Ballard Foundation gives a $500.00 scholarship to a Rockridge High School Senior basketball player. We have awarded five scholarships to date.

"I have worked with hundreds if not thousands of students over my educational career. Many stand out to me. However, Brandon made more of an impact on my life than any other. I think of Brandon and his inspiration to me everyday, and because of that I try to make every day of my life the best that I can. Forever 44”

“Brandon impacted us in so many ways and still does even after he has passed. I cannot wait for my husband and I to be able to share with our son, Carter, what a strong person Brandon was. And to teach him and our future kids how to be aware of the disease."
