During his 14-year NFL ca‘
reer as a tight end, Mike Tice
protected quarterbacks and
scored 11 touchdowns for the
Seattle Seahawks, Washing-
ton Redskins and Minnesota
Vikings.
On Friday, Tice donated
$25,000 to the North Ma-
son Teen Center. The money
came from the Mike Tice
Foundation’s inaugural ce—
lebrity golf fundraiser Aug.
3 at Salish Cliffs Golf Club.
Former Seahawks teammate
Steve La'rgent, former Seattle
Mariner Randy Johnson and
former Seattle Sonics player/
head coach Lenny Wilkens
were among the attendees.
The fundraiser netted about
$98,000.
Tice and his wife, Diane,
live in Victor, not far from the
North Mason ‘Teen Center.
The center was founded in
'1997 and in September 2019
moved into the former North
Mason School District head-
quarters.
“I love the program,” Tice
said. “They give kids a place to
go after school: Now, it gives
them a place to go all day.”

richment and academic sup-
port activities for students
who attend Hawkins Middle
School and North Mason High
School.
The North Mason School
District leases the space to
the nonprofit. The district re-
ceived a new administration

Tice, a native of New York
state, spent 35 years in the
National Football League as,
a player and coach. He played
tight end for the Seahawks
from 1981 to 1988, and again
from 1990-91. He retired as a
player as a member of the Vi-
kings in 1995. He was the Vi-
kings’ head coach from 2001-
05 He then was the ofi'ensive
line coach for the Jacksonville
Jaguars, the Chicago Bears,
the Atlanta Falcons and the
Oakland Raisers before retir-
ing in 2018.
, “Now it’s time to give back,”
he said.
The Tices bought the Victor
property in 1996 as a retreat
during his years coaching and
now they live there fulltime.
“Diane and I wanted a
home in Washington to escape
to We fell in love with the
area,” he said.
The golf fundraiser was
planned as a three-day event,
but the coronavirus changed
that, as well as canceling a
Nevada tournament, Tice
said. The event also raised
money for organizations in
New York state, Minneapolis
and Carson Valley, Nevada.
