A $25,000 donation in the winners’ names to the American Family Children’s Hospital was on the line. Hamm and North walked away the winners.

“A golf is the greatest way to raise money for charity and other causes in the community,” North said. “And has been an amazing community partner and it’s been an awful lot of fun to get involved with them and understand what they’re doing in the community but they’re doing the community and you changed a lot of lives, and I think that’s the real key thing the amount of money that gets raised in the little town like Madison is amazing.”

Events like this pro am are a no brainer for Hamm, who wiped the floor with the Woodson and Herbert. And there is a special place in her heart for the state of Wisconsin.

“I love coming back to the state of Wisconsin. Some might not know, but this is the state that really helped build my foundation and was there for me,” Hamm said. “A community that was there for me when my brother was really really sick and they didn’t think twice about helping us raise money. So, the opportunity to come back and give back is really important to me.”

Her charity, the Mia Hamm Foundation, raises money and awareness for families in need of bone marrow or cord blood transplants. She started the foundation in memory of her brother, Garret, who died from complications of a rare bone marrow disease called aplastic anemia.

“It’s important for me to show that same humility and generosity to other communities because we’re so much what we do,” Hamm said. “It’s incredibly personal with our foundations and you know that their families going through some similar experiences and just to help them and give them hope and ease their pain is really important.”
