New York Jets Head Coach Rex Ryan, ESPN announcer/Game-Day host Kirk Herbstreit, and former Clemson players Tajh Boyd, Sammy Watkins, Dwayne Allen and others entertained the crowd of 750 attendees. The Silent Auction and Live Auction conducted by Hope Meares raised $205,000! The funds will go to support the foundation’s four focus areas; Breast Cancer Prevention and Research, Family Effect, Clemson’s Call Me Mister Program, and the Life Programs. In addition, the Foundation awards grants based on need and fit within the mission statement and focus areas. Coach Swinney, “A huge “Thank You” to everyone for an amazing Ball.
