Tiger Woods won the AT&T National last weekend and announced that he will donate the $1.1 million winnings to his Tiger Woods Foundation. Tiger hit a dramatic 20-foot putt for birdie on the 16th hole to regain the lead from Hunter Mahan, who finished one shot begin Woods.

While we all know about Tiger’s success as an athlete on the golf course, we at FamilyFantasySports.com want to point out how Tiger’s values and his commitment to children make him a pretty special guy. Just check out his foundation website and you’ll see what separates him from most of the athletes and celebrities we see today.
Throughout the years, I’ve had the opportunity to meet thousands of children across the country, and all of them share one common bond: they all dream about their futures. As a result, I learned that success on the course was only part of what I wanted to achieve. In 1996, my father and I established the Tiger Woods Foundation to inspire youth, because I believe in passing on the values I received from my parents and teachers.
I can proudly say more than 10 million young people have been touched by the Tiger Woods Foundation. Through character development programs, scholarships, grants, junior golf teams, and the Tiger Woods Learning Center, the Foundation is helping young people reach their goals.
FamilyFantasySports.com promotes high moral values and also encourages everybody to get involved to help others. This is why this season we are using our fantasy football game as a fundraising tool to give fantasy players the option to play for charity. We’ll tell you more about this exciting news in the weeks to come! In the meantime, get on board for the 2009 football season at Family Fantasy Sports.
