About Us
The Brendan Taylor HAPPY GAMEDAY Foundation
Our mission is to provide unique HAPPY GAMEDAY experiences and lifetime memories to kids and families!
Who We Are
We have been using the phrase "HAPPY GAMEDAY" for many years. It was our family's way of celebrating the excitement of our love of sports. We started when Brendan and Mason were younger and it has carried on even as the boys grew older. When Brendan went away to college at the University of Kentucky, JT would text "HAPPY GAMEDAY" on each Saturday in the fall and during the basketball season. We believe this phrase embodies the GAMEDAY experience and the joy and memories we have cultivated over the years.
What We Do
The HAPPY GAMEDAY Foundation is partnering with agencies that support families and children who may not have the opportunity to experience unique sporting and other events. Our hope is to provide happiness, joy and lifetime memories to these deserving kids and families.
About Brendan
Our son Brendan was passionate about many things in life. Without a doubt, his biggest passion was attending and participating in sporting events. The first sporting event he attended was a University of Georgia vs. University of Kentucky football game when he was 10 months old. He was hooked then and didn't miss many UGA football games from then on.
Brendan started participating in sports when was 3 years old playing tee ball and soccer. He then played rec league and travel baseball until high school. While at Allatoona High School, he was the starting goalie for the lacrosse team.
In 2016 Brendan graduated from the University of Kentucky where he was a passionate basketball fan. He was an active member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity and made many lifetime memories and friends. Brendan loved his family fiercely and was a loyal and faithful friend to all he knew.
Brendan went to Heaven on April 7, 2021. We know we will see him again, and in the meantime, we are sure that he is cheering on his beloved UGA, UK, and Atlanta sports teams and has the best seats in the house!
We believe that everyone deserves a HAPPY GAMEDAY and know that Brendan would agree.
About Mason
Our son and Brendan's brother, Mason, is currently serving as a Combat Medic in the US Army. His goal is to become a PA after finishing with the Army. Mason has also been a part of our family's Happy Gameday tradition throughout the years.
We were blessed to add Mason to our family through adoption in the summer of 2002. He was 2 years old at the time and attended his first game that fall. Since then, he also has been a passionate Georgia football fan!
He is excited as well to be a part of the HAPPY GAMEDAY Foundation!
