Ravens punter Johnny Townsend realizing goals of giving back, hosting event Sunday

Johnny Townsend always has wanted to give back to his community as well as to create his own charitable foundation, and his biggest goal was to play in the NFL.

The former Orlando Boone High and University of Florida punter has accomplished all of his goals, but having done that he would still like to extend his reach.

The next step for Townsend, besides continuing to work on his craft as an NFL punter, will be the Johnny Townsend Foundation Winter Park Wine Cruise, a fundraiser to benefit the oncology wing of UF’s Shands Hospital.

Johnny Townsend, the punter for the Baltimore Ravens who also played for Florida and Orlando Boone High, helps support the children's oncology department at Shands Hospital in Gainesville through his foundation.
