The Foundation was established by former Eastern All-American offensive lineman and current Tennessee Titans tackle ’05 Michael Roos and his wife, ’04 Katherine Roos in 2005. The event pairs participants with NFL celebrities in a fun-filled bass fishing tournament and golf tournament. Matt Johnson was selected earlier this year as a fourth-round NFL draft pick for the Dallas Cowboys, while his twin brother Zach returns as outside linebacker for the Eagle’s 2012 season. Taiwan Jones begins his second year with the Oakland Raiders.
