Famous for his athleticism, Tim Tebow became the first college sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy during his time with the University of Florida Gators. He's also racked up a seven-figure net worth. These days, the NFL star is focusing his efforts on other pursuits—including relief for Ukrainian orphans and refugees during the country’s conflict with Russia.
In an appearance on Fox & Friends on May 17, Tebow said that he has partnered with religious organizations, including Lifesong for Orphans, to help those in need in Ukraine. “It really, for us, starts with relief aid for those who are in really hard times, to be able to bring shelter, support—and then, honestly, rescues and evacuations to better positions, to safer positions, to even different countries,” he said. Here’s more about Tebow’s football career and his other activities.
