NFL Star and Former FLP Student Aaron Brewer Donates $25,000 to Brewer Foundation
DALLAS, TX – May 8, 2026 – Aaron Brewer, an NFL player and former student of the Future Leaders Program (FLP), donated $25,000 to the Brewer Foundation in honor of the program’s 25th anniversary.
Brewer – an offensive lineman and team captain for the Miami Dolphins – participated in FLP during his time in the Dallas Independent School District, prior to pursuing his college and professional career. His gift will support the academic resources, debate training, and leadership programming that are hallmarks of the FLP.
"We are immensely proud of Aaron, not only for his achievements on the football field, but for the leader and role model he has become off the field," said William A. Brewer III, chairman of the Brewer Foundation. "Aaron's journey reflects the mission of the Future Leaders Program: to provide a platform where talent and hard work leads to extraordinary success. His generous gift is more than a donation – it is a powerful message to our current students that giving back is the ultimate mark of leadership."
Founded in 2001, the Future Leaders Program is the flagship academic and leadership program of the Brewer Foundation, the philanthropic affiliate of Brewer, Attorneys & Counselors. FLP serves more than 200 students, ages 12–18, from urban communities within the Dallas Independent School District (DISD) at no cost. Through year-round academic courses, leadership training, and exposure to a wide range of cultural programs, FLP helps prepare its “future leaders” for college and beyond.
"The skills I learned in the FLP—discipline, critical thinking, and the ability to articulate a position under pressure—are things I use every single day in the NFL and in life," said Aaron Brewer. "The program gave me the confidence to compete at the highest level, both academically and athletically. I am blessed to be in a position to give back and to invest in the next generation of leaders from Dallas. My hope is that this gift helps provide the same opportunity for another young person that was provided to me."
