Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles announced today the creation of a charitable foundation, headlined by a golf tournament.
The Blake Bortles Foundation will “give back to the communities that have shaped him as an athlete, teammate, friend and citizen.” The charity was founded to “support children with intellectual and developmental challenges in their pursuit of full, independent lives … and provide support to first responders, with the goal of improving their ability to safely carry out their vital life-saving work.”
The foundation is accepting grand and scholarship applications in those two areas of work with an emphasis on autism.
