The Pat Tillman Foundation is a non-profit organization created in 2004 by friends and family of former Arizona Cardinals safety turned U.S. Army Ranger Pat Tillman, including his widow Marie Tillman, in the aftermath of his fratricide death in Afghanistan.[3] In honor of his death, The Pat Tillman Foundation was created. The foundation supports the education and leadership development of veterans and military spouses primarily through its Tillman Scholars program.[4] The annual Pat's Run held in Tempe, Arizona since 2005 regularly draws over 25,000 participants in a 4.2 mile walk/run that finishes on the 42 yard line of Arizona State University's Sun Devil Stadium and helps fund scholarships and programs for Tillman Scholars.[3]
