CINCINNATI - The University of Cincinnati department of athletics and the Tommy Tuberville Foundation each received a $10,000 gift in recognition of Team Cincinnati's participation in last week's Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge charity golf tournament.
The Bearcats duo of head football coach Tommy Tuberville and former Bearcats and current Bengals punter Kevin Huber earned a total of $20,000 in winnings, which the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl split between UC's Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Endowed Scholarship Fund and the Tommy Tuberville Foundation.
"Our mission to give back is a driving force in everything that we do," said Gary Stokan, president and CEO of Peach Bowl, Inc. "We're grateful for the participation of these coaches and celebrities, and are happy to have the opportunity to give something back to their universities and the causes that are so close to their hearts."
The Tommy Tuberville Foundation was established to recognize and support organizations and causes that connect with the beliefs and values of the Tuberville family, including assisting our military and veterans; increasing awareness, education, and prevention of health issues, particularly among women and children; and furthering education and community initiatives.
Following its mission to support scholarship and charity at all levels, the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge will pay out a total of $520,000 to its 13 participating teams this year, with the winnings being split between the charity of each team's choice and an endowed scholarship at each university.
In addition to the $520,000 charity and scholarship purse, another $113,305 was generated for charitable organizations including the American Diabetes Association. Over the last nine years, the event has contributed a total of $5.3 million in scholarship and charity.
In 2014, the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl recorded its eighth straight year of more than $1 million in giving. Since 2002, college football's most charitable bowl game has distributed $17.6 million in charity and scholarship.
