Angela Stanford pays it forward with charitable foundation

Angela Stanford has always said that when she walked away from the LPGA, she wanted her life to still have meaning. The 41-year-old Texan, a six-time winner on the LPGA, first hosted a charity tournament in 2006 and formed the Angela Stanford Foundation 10 years ago. In 2012, after her mother, Nan, had fought breast cancer, Stanford began giving scholarships to Texas students who had either battled cancer themselves or had close family members who’d been impacted by the disease. She currently has 13 college students who are on scholarship from the Angela Stanford Foundation.
