He wasn’t a very good NFL quarterback, but Tim Tebow continues to be a great person off of the field. We told you last month how the Tim Tebow Foundation was making dreams come true for those with special needs, and, well, his foundation is at it again. The Tim Tebow Foundation hosted their first Celebrity Gala and Golf Classic raised more than $6.5 million for four organizations dedicated to helping children in need, according to TMZ Sports.
Here’s the description of the event, courtesy of their website:
The annual Tim Tebow Foundation Celebrity Gala and Golf Classic is an opportunity for Tim to host his celebrity friends for a weekend of fun and entertainment. Along with the sponsors, participants and spectators, this event has raised more than $5.5 million in just five years to support the outreach efforts of the Tim Tebow Foundation. 100% of all net proceeds from this event directly fund our W15H Program, Timmy’s Playrooms, Tebow CURE Hospital, Orphan Care, Adoption Aid, Night to Shine and Team Tebow.”
Stars at the event included Marcus Allen, Urban Meyer, Lou Holtz and many more. The winner of the golf tournament was 1996 Heisman Trophy winner Danny Wuerffel.
Good job, Timmy!
