For Greg Draddy, service to the National Football Foundation and its
Westchester Chapter represents both a personal commitment and a family tradition spanning more than half a century.
Draddy follows in the footsteps of his great-uncle, Vincent dePaul Draddy, and his father, Bill Draddy, in leading the
Westchester Chapter. Vincent Draddy joined the national NFF Board in 1957, serving for 33 years, including 19 years as chairman. He founded the
Westchester Chapter in 1973, further extending his impact as one of the most influential figures in NFF history. Bill Draddy subsequently took the reins of the
Westchester Chapter from his uncle, guiding its efforts for 20 years.
Greg has continued that remarkable legacy, extending the Draddy family's leadership and service to the chapter to 53 years. During that time, the
Westchester Chapter has recognized more than 680 scholar-athletes and awarded nearly $1 million in scholarships, carrying forward the NFF's mission of using football to develop the next generation of leaders.
Greg's own connection to the NFF began as a student-athlete. A standout football player, he was recognized as an NFF Westchester Golden Dozen Scholar-Athlete in 1989 before attending the College of the Holy Cross, where he played four years of football from 1989-93. He earned his bachelor's degree in history from Holy Cross before receiving his Juris Doctor from Suffolk University Law School.
Professionally, Draddy has spent 25 years in the insurance industry, providing strategic advice and guidance to businesses and executives on managing risk. A New York native, Draddy lives in Rye, New York, with his wife and their three young-adult children.
Through his leadership of the
Westchester Chapter, he continues a family tradition that began with Vin Draddy more than five decades ago — recognizing outstanding scholar-athletes and advancing the values of scholarship, leadership and football throughout the Westchester community.
