Steve Bryan Scholarship Fund

Steve Bryan, along with his Band of Brothers, met monthly with a special group of young men from the Detroit Lion’s Academy in Detroit. Steve had a passion for these “at risk” students and his heart’s desire was to help even one student reach their full potential. His methods included pizza, basketball (the kids called him “Larry Bird” for his basketball skills) and life experience discussions. His love and commitment for these students will never be forgotten.

In his honor, The Band of Brothers has formed the Steve Bryan Scholarship Fund. This is a monetary award towards continuing education to one man and one woman for academic and social achievement.
