Ricky Proehl is a 17-year veteran of the NFL. He started playing football when he was eight years old. After graduating from Wake Forest University on a football scholarship, he was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in 1990. Ricky's career continued further with the Seattle Seahawks, Chicago Bears, St. Louis Rams and Carolina Panthers. He has played in three Super Bowls and currently ranks 11th in career receptions on the NFL active player list.
The primary mission of the Ricky Proehl Foundation is to support children in North Carolina who have medical and/or social needs that would otherwise not be met. The Ricky Proehl Foundation was created in 1999 and is administered by the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro.
Before the foundation was established, and since 1996 until present, the Ricky Proehl NFL Charity Golf Classic, which helps fund the Ricky Proehl Foundation, has raised over $1,000,000 for children with developmental disabilities. These funds benefit various North Carolina children's charities such as Amos Cottage Rehabilitation Hospital, Greensboro Cerebral Palsy Association housed at Gateway Education Center, Oak Ranch, Boys and Girls Club of Raleigh and Children's Home Society. There are other children's charities that leading sponsors for the Golf Classic have the opportunity to designate.
With the addition of The Ricky Proehl Football Camp each summer, held at Proehlific Park in Greensboro, NC, additional funds will be added to the Foundation from The POWER of Play Charitable Fund.
