Since its inception in 2015, the non-profit foundation has paid Brady's firm in excess of $1.6 million for its services.

Martina Navratilova reprimands Ontario school board for allowing trans teacher's "offensive" attire
On social media, Martina Navratilova has established a significant presence for herself. The veteran is renowned for speaking her mind on a variety of subjects without holding back.
Over the past few months, the 66-year-old has opened up about a variety of topics, including politics, gender discrimination, social issues, controversies, and more. More recently, Navratilova chastised the Ontario school board for allowing their trans teacher's "offensive" outfit at school.
The instructor, named as Kayla Lemieux, was pictured instructing a lesson while sporting huge prosthetic breasts, a blonde wig, and tight bicycle shorts. The bizarre costume was approved by the local school board and they justified their decision by stating that transgender people should be entitled to "express themselves in accordance with their lived gender."
"It is important to recognize the impact that dress code policies can have on members of the transgender community, most notably, it is important for employers to make allowances to ensure that these employees are able to express themselves in accordance with their lived gender," the Halton District School Board's statement read.
Martina Navratilova shared the news on Twitter, calling it "totally nuts" and saying that a stunt like this only served to hurt the trans community.
"This is totally nuts. Offensive beyond the pale. These kind of stunts only hurt the trans community. Making a parody of women is supposed to be progressive?!?," Martina Navratilova wrote in her tweet.
