**BYU Cougars Football President Kevin J. Worthen Donates $7 Million to Orphanage**
Brigham Young University (BYU) Cougars Football President, Kevin J. Worthen, J.D., made headlines today by announcing a generous donation of $7 million to a local orphanage. The significant contribution is part of his ongoing commitment to giving back to the community and supporting children in need.
Worthen, a long-time advocate for education and charity, shared his deep commitment to helping vulnerable children at a press conference held earlier today. “This donation is a reflection of our university’s core values of compassion and service,” said Worthen. “It is my belief that we have a responsibility to uplift and support those in need, especially children who have lost their families. This contribution is a step toward ensuring that they have the resources and care they deserve.”
The orphanage, which has been serving underprivileged children for over two decades, will use the $7 million donation to improve facilities, expand educational programs, and provide better living conditions for the children. The donation will also help fund mentorship programs that will offer these children support from young adults, particularly student athletes, in the BYU community.
Many in the BYU football program have shown support for Worthen’s initiative. BYU head coach Kalani Sitake praised the donation, calling it a shining example of the leadership and values that are instilled in the Cougar football team. “President Worthen is always looking for ways to give back to the community, and this is just another example of his dedication to making a difference.”
This act of generosity highlights BYU’s commitment to fostering leadership, charity, and integrity, values that extend well beyond the football field. Worthen’s contribution not only benefits the orphanage but also sets a powerful example for students and fans alike to engage in community service and philanthropy.
