Our Team is Here for You


Jan. 1, 1970

Dear Fellow Former Players & Friends,

Today I ’d like to take more time to introduce the PAF team. Just like the teams you played on, everyone on the PAF team has a job to do. With many years of experience, we are prepared to serve your greatest hardships. Our website, YourPAF, will have many of the answers to your questions, but the PAF team is also available to help you evaluate your true needs. The team is Laura, Leslie, Caryl, Tyrone and me, Andre. I’m so proud of the work they put in for 2017, helping 488 players and their families. There is no trophy at the end of the year for this team, but you will tell by their enthusiasm helping others is the reward.

Here is a short video to help you get to know the PAF team better.
