Our Mission
We invest in the next generation of emerging leaders and support the non profits that champion them. We do this by channeling our communities’ shared passion for music, baseball and service to create college and career opportunities and a future of possibilities for under resourced young people and their families.

FTBNL/Peter Gammons College Scholars Program Investing in the next generation of emerging leaders.
Why we do what we do is best described in the words of our Gammons and Brehmer Scholars. Thank you Richard, Beeban, Kailee and Jaylen.
Richard Dorsey ‘23
Gammons Scholar, Fairfield University
“The sense of companionship and support the foundation provides its scholars with is truly immense. The mentorship and programs offered have a great impact in my development, and continued drive as a student.”
Beeban Jikiemi-Pearson ‘23
Gammons Scholar, UMass Boston
“The Foundation to be Named Later and the scholarship that they have awarded me means so many things, but ultimately it boils down to community and opportunity. Without the incredible financial support from the FTBNL, I simply would not be able to pursue my degree as the costs would have been too much for my family. The community that the FTBNL has surrounded me with, from my amazing mentor, to fellow scholars, and professional networks have ensured that I can make the most out of what they’ve given me. Thank you to everyone at the Foundation!!”
Kailee Roman '24
Lin Brehmer Scholar, DePaul University
“This scholarship means being able to bring Lin Brehmer’s name with me in my writing but also representing who I want to be in the world of journalism. It motivates me to be a better person and to be a better writer. “
Jaylen Carwell '23
Lin Brehmer Scholar, Knox College
“The FTBNL scholarship has ensured me almost 3 years of uninterrupted education at my college, and without it I wouldn’t be able to have that peace of mind in my academic pursuits.”
FTBNL is proud to have announced the NEW Lin Brehmer Foundation To Be Named Later College Scholarship in Chicago.
Remembering Lin Brehmer
1954-2023
We lost a big-hearted, joyful, generous, important member of our family when Lin Brehmer left us for a better place on January 22, 2023. His legacy of giving and kindness will live on through our service to others that he made possible! Lin was the extraordinary EMCEE of all of our Chicago Hot Stove Cool Music shows at Metro and helped us raise millions of dollars that went directly to support young people and their families who are overcoming tremendous obstacles in Chicago, the city he loved. His values of generosity, kindness, joyfulness, gratitude and passion for music and baseball will always fuel our mission.
