We love being in our support of North Texas teachers!

📚🎉 What a surprise at the Ben Milam Elementary School Reading Rally!

The College Football Playoff Foundation once again demonstrated its incredible partnership with Catch Up & Read and the Cotton Bowl Foundation by presenting every member of our 9-person CAR team at Milam with a $500 DonorsChoose gift card! 🙌

That added up to an amazing $4,500 in classroom resources to support our teachers and students. We are so grateful for partners who continue to invest in literacy, educators, and student success.

Thank you, CFP Foundation and Cotton Bowl Foundation, for helping make a difference where it matters most! 💙📖

Did you know there's a connection between the Classic & THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson?

Former Cotton Bowl Athletic Association Chair & Salesmanship Club of Dallas President Felix R. McKnight and Byron Nelson were close friends. It was McKnight who asked Nelson for permission to name the PGA TOUR event in his honor. The Classic's Defensive MVP trophy is named in McKnight's honor.
