Spotlight: JT Townsend Foundation

The JT Townsend Foundation (JTTF) serves children and adults with disabilities in the First Coast (five northeastern Florida counties) by providing them with adaptive equipment, financial assistance, and research funding. A PGA Tour and The Players tournament-approved charity, JTTF has helped more than 275 families. Professional golfer Fred Funk is an emeritus member of the foundation's Board of Directors. Jerry "JT" Townsend, Jr., became paralyzed due to a spinal cord injury during a high school football game in 2004; he established JTTF six years later. Townsend unexpectedly passed away at age 26 shortly after graduating from the University of North Florida with a degree in Sports Management in 2013.
