The Tug McGraw Foundation (TMF) was established by former MLB pitcher and U.S. Marine Veteran, Tug McGraw in 2003. Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for individuals diagnosed with debilitating neurological brain conditions such as glioblastoma brain tumors, (military) traumatic brain injury, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

 

With its extensive and well connected network, TMF has been instrumental in bridging military and civilian resources to help as many patients as as possible. Through fundraising, education and collaboration,TMF continues to create opportunities focused on improving the lives of individuals, along with their families, in effort to extend and improve their standard of living.  

​

In recent years, TMF expanded its mission by creating wellness programs for residents at the Yountville Veterans Home of California. Each program helps veterans to improve their physical, cognitive, social and spiritual components of their health. Quality of life enhancement is our goal for as many residents as possible. Creating sustainable programs around exercise, healthy eating, and socialization in turn creates a community support system to help better achieve one’s wellness goals.
