The Foundation also celebrated a milestone anniversary with this year's event with the 25th tournament, which stands as the Cleveland Browns Foundation's flagship fundraising event. Through the collective efforts of the Browns, team partners and a community of supporters, this tournament has surpassed the $4.1 million mark in funds raised since its inception.
As golfers made their way around the Westwood Country Club golf course, they were treated to different activations along the path to provide refreshments and other opportunities to golfers.
Twenty-six golf foursomes were joined by Browns personnel during the 18-hole round. Select players joined groups to participate in a round of golf, while others participated in activations around the course. Browns Chief Operating Officer David Jenkins, Executive Vice President of Football Operations and General Manager Andrew Berry, Stefanski and a total of 55 players, coaches and alumni were among those in attendance during the tournament.
"Browns Give Back and everything (the Foundation has done) with Stay in the Game! and the building of fields out in Cleveland is pretty special," Bitonio said. "I tell people about that all the time, you hear headlines for the Browns and stuff, but what they do in the community, charity wise, is special. This is their biggest fundraiser of the year. You get to come out, play a great golf course, have some fun, interact with people. But it's a great cause, and to help the people that cheer us on and help us is really a no brainer for us."
After a day on the golf course wrapped up, the event concluded with a 19th Hole Celebration – which featured a panel of all seven 2025 draft picks conducted by former Browns player and ESPN media personality Andrew Hawkins. Rookies shared details on their transition to the NFL and what it's been like playing for the Browns. All of the Browns rookies were also in attendance at the celebration, which took place on the practice putting green near the 18th hole, mingling with the guests throughout the afternoon program.
