Anyone who knew Coach Rod knew how much he loved sports, fun, life, and giving back to the very community of which he felt lucky to be a part. A wonderful father and husband, Rod was passionate not only about his family, but just about everybody else's in Somerset, MA.

To honor Coach Rod's commitment to always being there to offer a helping hand or great piece of advice, or maybe just coach a ballgame, Give A Kid A Dream is launching The Stafford Scholarship. Each year, the scholarship will provide

funding for a student in need who, like so many others, will have our program lift their spirits and prospects, and focus them on becoming educated, considerate, and also become contributors to their own communities.
