The Pick. It’s a play that has gone down in University of Oregon football history
as the turning of an era, putting the Ducks into position for the Rose Bowl for
the first time in 40 years. Kenny Wheaton caught a football in the last remaining
seconds of that game, but he caught onto so much more during his time here
in Oregon. Kenny caught onto the giving spirit of this community and the
responsibility we all have to give back. That is why Kenny Wheaton started the
Kenny Wheaton Foundation, because he believes in giving back. The Kenny
Wheaton Foundation works to make a positive impact and provide opportunities
for youth in the community, putting kids into position for success. The foundation
supports education, extra curricular activities, and meets the physical needs of primarily low-income youth in Lane County.
