    The Gators' former basketball star (and current broadcaster), Patric Young, is hosting a golf fundraiser for the Patric Young Foundation on December 10 and 11 in Jacksonville. There is a fiesta and silent auction on Sunday evening and a golf tournament on Monday. Please consider participating or donating to this worthy cause led by a Gator great. Here is a link to the information about the events:

    And here is a synopsis (from the website) of Patric's foundation:

    Ten days before his wedding a single-vehicle accident left Patric paralyzed from the waist down.

    The former University of Florida men’s basketball standout, who used to run up and down the court, is now focused on learning how to walk.

    Patric knows he’s one of the lucky ones. Lucky to be alive and lucky enough to be insured. But despite his medical coverage, this experience has opened Patric’s eyes to the material gaps in what the healthcare system will provide versus what is needed to achieve independence.

    Four months following his accident and while undergoing intensive therapy and treatment, Patric launched the Foundation.

    With a mission to help those facing life-altering injuries, the Patric Young Foundation works to provide financial, emotional, and physical support to those who need it most.


    Determined to make a difference, Patric is working to be the best he can be for himself, his family and his new adaptive community.
    Join Patric in helping those with life-altering injuries reclaim their lives.
