The Greatest Brave
Renowned for his unparalleled skill, unyielding determination, and unwavering sportsmanship, Henry Louis “Hank” Aaron not only etched his name in the baseball record books, but also became a symbol of inspiration and resilience for generations of fans.
On the baseball diamond, Hank was a model of consistent greatness, and his achievements will never be matched. Off the field, he was a trailblazing executive, holding leadership roles with the Braves front office for more than four decades, he was a successful entrepreneur, owning car dealerships and restaurants throughout the southeast, and he was a humanitarian, leaving an indelible impact on communities across the globe.
Following Hank’s passing in 2021, the Atlanta Braves, Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association created the Henry Louis Aaron Fund to positively impact the future of baseball by investing in those who are following in his footsteps on the field and in the front office. Operated by the Atlanta Braves Foundation, the Henry Louis Aaron Fund supports projects that enable increased representation in the game at all levels, events that showcase young talent from underrepresented communities and career development opportunities for future minority business leaders.
