[Industry] Super Bowl champion Marshawn Lynch of the Seahawks and his cousin 49ers quarterback Josh Johnson were in City of Industry Monday morning at the Pacific Palms Resort. It was their second annual ‘The Big Golf Game’ charity tournament for their ‘Fam 1st Family’ foundation.
“The biggest impact that got me going with the foundation was life” said Lynch.
Lynch grew up in Oakland and then attended Cal Berkeley and starred at running back.
“The little impact we have because of the position we’ve been put in we can help the less fortunate” said Johnson when asked about why we wanted to start up ‘Fam 1st Family’.
Lynch on the foundation “We make sure kids that have a shot still go to college and we help them with that. The way we feel, we know we won’t touch every kid but its a process.”
Lynch and Johnson want to thank all their sponsors Skechers, Montebello Chevrolet, NFL, Nestle pure life, Skittles, El Tepeyac, Nike and many more. Also event coordinator Monique Gonzalez and Joanna Lopez who made it all possible.
