CARIS SPORTS FOUNDATION WILL HOST 2ND ANNUAL GOLF TOURNAMENT IN PHOENIX AT THE BILTMORE
Caris Sports Foundation, the philanthropic initiative that brings awareness to both the benefits that playing team sports bring to a child’s life - as well as the socioeconomic barriers that prevent youth participation, is hosting the organization’s 2nd Annual Caris Sports Foundation Golf Tournament at the Arizona Biltmore Golf Club in Phoenix on Friday, April 22, 2022.
The foundation was formed by four women who understand the value and wide-ranging benefits of team sports and includes Raquel McNabb, wife of 6x NFL Pro-Bowler and NFL commentator, Donovan McNabb. Those interested in participating in or sponsoring the event are welcomed to visit www.CarisSportsFoundation.org for more information.
“I was fortunate to be able to play both club and competitive sports throughout my youth and it changed the trajectory of my life,” said Donovan McNabb, Ambassador for Caris Sports Foundation. "This inaugural golf event couldn’t come at a better time - Arizonans love their golf, and this event will give people a chance to safely connect, play sports and have some fun while raising money for a great cause.”
Formed in 2019, Caris Sports Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization that gives young people the opportunity to participate in organized sports by providing financial aid that removes financial obstacles that typically keep children on the sidelines.
Studies have shown children who participate in sports are more likely to attend and graduate from college, earn more in their careers, and avoid drugs and criminal activity. Caris Sports Foundation’s purpose is to level the playing field and directly address this disparity by removing financial considerations that often preclude families from lower income backgrounds from participating in organized sports.
Caris Sports Foundation financial aid opportunities are currently open to full-time students in grades K-12 that are Arizona residents.
