The $10K donation is intended to help support Green’s foundation, the Jacob Green Charity Golf Classic. Over the years, the Legend’s golf tournament has helped raise nearly $30M for the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Half of the donation came from American Family Insurance, a corporate partner of the Seattle Seahawks.Green was voted as the winner by a panel of judges based on his efforts in the community over the years.
