THE FOUNDATION
The Randall Morris Foundation for Youth and Families has raised over $900,000 to help those in need since its founding. They’re committed to helping those in need with a focus on the needs of families, women, and children.
In 2005 Randall Morris and his friend Johnny Allen (who played in the National African American Professional Golf Association), established Randall Morris Foundation. In their first year, they raised $1500 for charity. The Foundation’s purpose is to support youth, families, and communities by providing financial support to those in need in the Pacific Northwest.
Since its inception, the Foundation has hosted an annual Celebrity Golf Tournament in September of each year. This event draws many of Randall’s friends from the NFL, NBA, MLB, entertainment, and music world.
In 2018, the Randall Morris Foundation Celebrity Golf Invitational was introduced to the Super Bowl of Golf in collaboration with the NFL Alumni Association. The winning team represented the Pacific Northwest NFL Alumni Chapter at the annual Super Bowl of Golf at Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina in May 2019. The Washington team competes against the other 31 NFL Alumni Chapters.
The Randall Morris Foundation Celebrity Golf Invitational was held in 2019 for the first time at the beautiful Fairwood Golf and Country Club in Renton, Washington, and remains there today.
This year marks the 18th Annual Celebrity Golf Invitational and will be our biggest and best yet.
ABOUT RANDALL MORRIS
Randall Morris is a former football running back who played 64 games over five seasons in the National Football League with the Seattle Seahawks and Detroit Lions. He was born in Anniston, Alabama, and raised in Long Beach, California. He attended college and played football at the University of Tennessee.
Randall Morris arrived in 1984 as a 10th-round draft choice of the Seattle Seahawks from the University of Tennessee. He had one of the better nicknames in Seahawk franchise history: “Too Hard to Handle,” as in “Too Hard to Handle Randall.” It was eventually shortened to simply “Too Hard,” with hand gestures to match – two extended fingers that then form a fist.
Randall and his wife, Amanda, have embraced Seattle as their home. They love the time they spend with their kids and in addition to four grandkids, while continuing to support the community.
After retiring from football, Randall started Morris Janitorial Services LLC specializing in janitorial services for post-construction cleanup. He remains in the Seattle area because it is a great place to raise a family.
