Frazier sits on the board of Cornerstone Christian Academy in Pennsylvania.
According to its website, the mission of Cornerstone Christian Academy is to educate children, including those from at-risk neighborhoods in an environment that provides the highest standards for academic achievement and spiritual development. It is their vision to be a model urban Christian school where students are grounded in faith, shaped with Christ-like character and equipped with knowledge and skills to excel in high school, college and throughout life.
