Five years ago, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan partnered with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta to set up his first celebrity amateur golf tournament with the understanding that half of the proceeds would go to the Matt Ryan Foundation and the other half would go to the Aflac Cancer Center at Children’s.
Following the event and seeing first-hand the type of impact this type of fundraising would have on young cancer patients, the Ryan Foundation sent its check to the Aflac Cancer Center.
On Monday, for the fifth year, the Aflac Cancer Center received all the profits from the tournament, this time totaling more than $90,000.
