Joe Burrow‘s recent golf outing proved to be an incredible success! The quarterback’s Foundation held its Golf Invitational in Batavia on May 31 to raise money for their cause. The sold-out event, held at the Golf Club at Stonelick Hills, raised a generous amount of $1.1 million.

The golfing event saw many familiar faces from the Cincinnati Bengals in attendance and was hosted by the star’s parents, Jimmy and Robin Burrow. Offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. and center Ted were some of the teammates who showed up to support the cause. Head coach Zac Taylor and former franchise legend Anthony Muñoz also attended the golf extravaganza. All in all, the event fulfilled its purpose of raising a significant amount of money to help children suffering from mental illness and food insecurity. 

Burrow has been active in giving back to the community and finds fun and creative ways to raise money for a good cause. In March, the QB challenged fellow Bengals star Ted Karras to get a tattoo. The center took him up on the dare, getting “Cincy” inked on himself. Burrow, in return, made a generous donation of $25,000 to the nonprofit Village of Merici. They even coined the day St. ‘Tatty’s Day.’

The Joe Burrow Foundation was established in 2022 with the aim of providing support to the underprivileged and underserved families of Ohio and Louisiana. A Golf Invitational was held last year as well, which raised almost $1 million for the noble cause. He also collaborated with Soup earlier this year to fight the issue of food inconsistency in Ohio.

Joe Burrows’ new partnership to feed thousands

The Cincinnati native hasn’t forgotten his roots and doesn’t miss a chance to give back to society whenever he can. Cincinnati records the fifth-highest rate of childhood poverty, them an issue the QB is dedicated to fighting against. Burrow’s foundation partnered with a local nonprofit, La Soupe, in Jan with the aim of feeding the Ohions. The quarterback also donated $200,000 and a refrigerated van to the organization.

The 6000 meal servings were provided to the Athens community students and their families, tackling the issue of food insecurity among children. In March, Burrow volunteered as a part of the Guinness Gives Back initiative. He, along with his parents, helped prepare the meal with the La Soupe volunteers. “Thanks to everyone for coming out,” Burrow thanked everyone after the day’s work. “Thanks to Guinness, Guinness Gives Back, La Soupe, and thanks to my man wearing my jersey,” he said, referring to a kid nearby.

Joe Burrow is all set for the upcoming season, having successfully recovered from his wrist injury from last season. Not only is the quarterback a pro on the field, but the 27-year-old doesn’t leave any stone unturned to do his bit towards the community welfare.
