In 2021, he founded the Braxton Miller Foundation with his aunt Lashonda to give kids in his home state the kind of opportunities he was lucky enough to have, and to make sure those opportunities reached the kids who'd otherwise be overlooked.
Braxton Miller is a former Ohio State quarterback, two-time Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year, 2015 College Football Playoff National Champion, Ohio State Athletics Hall of Famer, and former NFL wide receiver. He grew up in Ohio and never forgot it.
Lashonda brings 20+ years of corporate experience as CEO of The Braxton Miller Foundation. But first and foremost, Lashonda is a proud auntie of her nephew, Braxton Miller.
Lashonda graduated from Ohio University in 2001 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering and built a strong career with progressive leadership roles in both Manufacturing and Supply Chain at DuPont and Abbott Laboratories. However, when Braxton asked her to launch and lead his nonprofit organization, The Braxton Miller Foundation, she happily left her corporate career to do just that.
Our Board of Directors brings together leaders from business, education, athletics, and the community, all united by a belief that every kid in Ohio deserves the chance to reach their full potential. They guide our strategy, steward our mission, and make sure BMF shows up for the kids we serve, year after year.
