Pop's Passion

Many people ask what does the name POP's Passion mean and the response is that it holds two meanings. One meaning for POPs is an acronym for our Mantra: Purpose Over Profits, reminding us constantly of our mission. Another meaning is to honor the Founder's "Pops", the two men who left examples of servant leadership while providing for their community.   

POP’s WHY, WHERE, and HOW.
