The 15th Annual NFL Alumni-Austin Chapter Caring for Kids Banquet, sponsored by Lexus of Austin & Lexus of Lakeway and Golf Classic, presented by KB Home, raised nearly $340,000 to benefit Travis County child abuse victims. The money raised will help the Center for Child Protection continue its mission to reduce the trauma for children and their protective families during the investigation and prosecution of child abuse cases.
During the banquet, Sanya Richards-Ross & Aaron Ross accepted the honor of Couple of the Year and spoke on the importance of passion, compassion and giving back to the community you love.
The next morning, more than 30 former NFL players partnered up with our team sponsors to compete for an all-expenses paid trip to the NFL Alumni's 2018 Super Bowl of Golf Tournament in Las Vegas. Grand prize at the tournament went to the Austin Lanehart Electric & Lighting team, comprised of Greg Lanehart, Matt Fisher, Chelsea Lanehart, Lee Roy Johns and team captain/NFL Alumni member Al Matthews. The second place team was from Sherwin-Williams with team captain Bruce Collie, third place went to Lone Star Paving Co and Bo Schobel, and Landart America came in fourth place with team captain Tony Franklin.
