Former Seattle Seahawks star football player Jacob Green and friends raised more than $290,000 for Hutchinson Center programs at the 24th annual Jacob Green Charity Golf Classic July 14 and 15.

The auction and dinner at the Westin Seattle—and golf tournament at The Golf Club at Redmond Ridge—benefit Center research, the Pete Gross House, and the Family Assistance Fund.
