Kenny Easley / HOF ‘17
and Tournament Host
Honoring the Life and Legacy of
Kenny Easley
​
Kenny Easley was more than a Hall of Famer and Seahawks legend. To Rise Up Academy, he was family.
​
In 1999, when Rise Up Academy was just an idea, Kenny was the first to believe. His very first donation helped open our doors, and for more than 25 years, he never stopped showing up. As host of the Rise Up Academy Celebrity Golf Classic, Kenny used his platform, influence, and heart to support children and families from underserved communities.
​
Kenny believed in lifting others as he climbed and ensuring every child had a fair start. Though he is no longer with us, his legacy lives on through the students we serve and the mission he helped build.
​
The Celebrity Golf Classic continues in his honor.
