Troy Aikman, Gary Beban, Cade McNown and 19 other former UCLA quarterbacks will take part in a fundraiser for UCLA Mattel Children's Hospital in April.
The idea for the fundraiser was hatched after a 2018 luncheon at a Long Beach restaurant honoring former coach Terry Donahue. Beban, who was among the 16 quarterbacks to show up that day, suggested to Cowan that the group use its platform for something more meaningful than just catching up with one another.
“I consider it a privilege to convert my time playing a game to bring value to such an important UCLA faculty and to individuals who deserve all the support we can muster,” Beban said. The quarterbacks intend to connect not only with each other but also with fans who have adored them for years, if not decades. Cowan said one fan told him he met his wife the night of UCLA’s epic upset of USC in 2006, and another said the victory allowed him to hold his head up high around Trojan family members that Christmas.UCLA five-star quarterback prospect Dante Moore talks with The Times before the All-American Bowl on Saturday in San Antonio.
