A family who received assistance from Greg Olsen’s Heartest Yard fund is sad to see the veteran tight end part ways from the Carolina Panthers.
Olsen may no longer be a Carolina Panther, but he’ll be a part of Charlotte for life.
A $2.5 million donation by itself sends a strong enough message of support, but for Greg and Kara Olsen, it’s not about the money.
The gift marks the largest commitment to date from the Foundation to Levine Children's.
n November 2017, The Greg Olsen Foundation: Receptions for Research, in partnership with Atrium Health Levine Children’s, announced the creation of a new cardiac neurodevelopmental program, supported by the foundation’s The HEARTest Yard fund. Since then, the program has evolved into a comprehensive clinic that cares for every aspect of a child – and their family – who has been affected by a heart condition.
On May 11, hundreds will gather for the HEARTest Yard + Showmars 5K to raise money for pediatric heart disease.
