On Saturday, former Buccaneers tight end and Buccaneers.com contributor Anthony Becht was named the “Man of the Year” by the Suncoast chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for his charitable work over the past several months. Becht, along with more than a dozen other participants, helped raise nearly $400,000 for cancer research.
Becht is well-known for his work in the Tampa community and was approached by several of his local colleagues about potentially participating in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Man of the Year competition. It is a 10-week challenge, with the winner being the participant who raised the most money.
