“One of the last things on the families’ minds are the financial needs of the children when they get ready to continue their education after they complete high school. Therefore, we have created the USBPFOF, to provide financial assistance to those children who want to continue their education. Since our inception in 2003 we have provided numerous students with the opportunity to continue to college or vocational training. The proceeds that are received for our scholarship are earmarked for the continued education of those children who have lost a parent or caregiver in the line of duty,”

IGNITE – Our Vision
IGNITE, is a creative way for Southern Draw Cigars to dedicate NEW commercial release cigars to provide hope, morale, and charity to those in need. Southern Draw Cigars with its partners will join by voluntarily assisting in all lawful ways, to support mutually agreed upon charities and causes.
We aim to focus on serving those in need. Our primary focuses will include several facets of the community. Starting with active duty, deployed, military veterans and their families who give up so much for our country. Premium cigar rights and cigar retail associations who give Southern Draw the avenue to build our business, and in turn allow us to give back. And to our community’s needy, homeless, and hungry, many of whom are US military veterans. https://www.southerndrawcigars.com/ignite
