We would like to personally thank our #1 Sponsor for the Biletnikoff Foundation which is the Oakland Raiders.
They have official announced that they will be supporting our foundation 100% this year and have put us on their
website to let all the Oakland Raider Fans know about our foundation mission.






When asked about Tracey’s Place of Hope, Angela Biletnikoff became
solemn. She described how Tracey emerged from the rehabilitation
process completely transformed back into the daughter she and her
husband Fred knew. “It was a miracle,” said Biletnikoff. “I cannot express the
gratitude in our hearts. Fred and I were so grateful to have our daughter
returned to us.” And it was Tracey’s most sincere desire to help other teens
escape the trap into which she had fallen. By auctioning and raffling
footballs signed by her “NFL-Hall-of Famer-Dad”, she began a career
devoted to helping teens recover from substance abuse.
In spite of her untimely and brutal death, the Biletnikoff’s gratitude for having
Tracey returned to them as a result of quality rehabilitation remains strong.
Through the fund development efforts of the Biletnikoff Foundation, Tracey’s
parents keep alive her hope that any adolescent who is addicted to drugs
and alcohol can be recovered through counseling services and
rehabilitation designed for teens. Tracey had emerged from rehabilitation
reinvigorated, her heart full of optimism for the future, not only for herself but
also for others like her who have fallen into addiction. “To this day, the girls
in the program still talk about her all the time. ‘Tracey is here!’ they will say,
even though they have never met her”, said Linda Carlson, the executive
director of WRA that houses Tracey’s Place of Hope in San Mateo. “The goal
is to return the girls back to their community functioning in a healthy way”
said Carlson, “And Tracey’s hope for these girls continues to inspire every
new girl coming through the residential center”.
The Tracey’s Place of Hope to be built in Placer County will be a 6-bed residential facility to be operated by Families First
(www.familiesfirst.org). Laura Heintz is the executive director. The Biletnikoff Foundation is searching for a site to
purchase, and within 6 months after purchase they will be open for business. The facility will offer substance abuse and
mental heath treatment for girls who have fallen into addiction and abuse. Please help our cause by becoming a Sponsor.
