The 23rd annual Cox Heart to Hearts Golf Tournament raised $ 354,470 to benefit the cardiac program at Children ’ s Healthcare of Atlanta and its patients — like tournament hero Hallie Mae Price , daughter of Cox Automotive employee Lee Price . Hallie became one of the hospital ’ s youngest patients when she was diagnosed with a complex congenital heart defect at a 20-week prenatal appointment . Held in September at Golf Club of Georgia , the tournament attracted a sellout capacity of 288 players , including Cox Business and Cox Automotive employees . To date , this event has generated over $ 6 million for the Heart to Hearts fund .

Cox Communications team members in California partnered with Make-A-Wish San Diego to help 12-year-old Anthony ( who is living with a neurological condition that causes seizures and other complications ) become a professional gamer and YouTube star so he could teach other kids going through treatment how to play video games . Cox provided a world-class gaming system and free high-speed internet for a year , and Tony Gross is serving as Anthony ’ s mentor .
