Melissa lives with a family of sports fanatics who love to cheer on all teams Washington,
DC related, plus the Virginia Tech Hokies, the Indiana Hoosiers, and the University at

As a perpetual team mom, Melissa discovered about LPF through the high school
equipment drive. Her three kids learned life lessons from their different sports:
teamwork, dedication, time management, resilience and failure. LPF was a perfect way
for the family to pass their love of sports on to the next child, to set them up for success
and find an activity they love.
