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.
