Proceeds from this event will benefit the 2nd & 7 Foundation. The 2nd & 7 Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Columbus, Ohio. Three former Ohio State university football players, Luke Fickell, Ryan Miller and Mike Vrabel, started the foundation in 1999. Inspired by their involvement in various community outreach programs as student athletes, they decided to continue making a difference by promoting literacy and providing positive role models for children in Central Ohio.
