Sacks for CF Scholarship
The Sacks for CF Scholarship is related to quarterback sacks made during the NFL season. The undergraduate and graduate award is made annually to recipients who strive for therapy adherence and academic success.
“Sacks for CF” means money in the bank for college students who have cystic fibrosis.
For every sack recorded during NFL Monday Night Football games, the Sacks for CF Scholarship Program receives a donation from a Boomer Esiason Foundation corporate partner.
