“Being a former athlete at Bradley you know from experience that if you want the sport of your choice to be competitive, it takes money. As Bradley fans and alumni, we felt we needed to step up and support this program.”
Daren Epley ’93
“It was natural for us to have a baseball player. Daren, like Grant, was a first baseman and both are from Washington, Illinois. We’re excited to be part of the Braves Scholarship Society.”
Tricia Leigh Epley, ’93
“The Braves Scholarship Society is awesome. I have enjoyed the opportunity to meet the Epleys. Mr. Epley was a heck of a player while at Bradley. His career is one that I would want to emulate. Their kids are really nice and they’re a great family. I’m really looking forward to
getting to know them better.”

“We hope the Braves Scholarship Society gives Rikki a friendship she’ll value for a lifetime. We certainly value her friendship. She’s an impressive young woman. In fact, she mentors us.”
Steve Jackson
“I’ve developed a personal relationship with the Jacksons beyond athletics. I always get a good luck call before my tournaments, and they’re there to watch each day’s match. It’s nice to have family even if you’re not at home.”
