Providing Veterans an opportunity to integrate back into their communities through sports officiating.

VETS 2 REFS

Too often, members of our United States Armed Forces return home & find that life without a mission & team is tough to adjust to.

We are providing them a vocation that allows them to serve again by becoming sports officals.

Founded by Mike Pereira, who ran the officiating program in the NFL for 12 years before becoming a rules analyst for Fox Sports NFL and college football telecasts.
