George Lopez is known for talking the talk as one the entertainment industry’s funniest comedians.  For the last 12 years, he’s been known for walking the walk as the host of a celebrity golf tournament that raises funds annually for his George Lopez Foundation, which raises awareness for kidney disease and organ donation.
