Rams), Paul Crane (New York Jets), Clifton “The Stick” McNeil (Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers), and Ben Harris (Mobile Sports Hall of Fame Football Coach).
The FPHC Celebrity Golf Tournament is the FPHC’s largest and most successful fundraiser and all proceeds from this event will aid in providing quality medical, vision, and dental care to patients in Mobile, Baldwin, Choctaw, Conecuh, Escambia, and Monroe counties.

Kathy Perry explains the mission of FPHC, “We here at Franklin Primary Health Centers, help with a number of things for patients. We help with anything from uninsured patients who cannot afford proper health insurance to helping with medications and lab costs. It’s just what we do and this tournament helps us ensure that we can continue this work.”
