ORLANDO, Fla. – Central Florida sports fans and athletes may recognize Chris Hays—or at least his byline.
Hays is a longtime sports writer for the Orlando Sentinel. If you’ve had a child play varsity sports, chances are he covered their games.

Hays spent decades telling sports stories, and now, he’s the subject of one.
Hays, whose called Central Florida home for 23 years, is in need of a liver transplant and athletes he’s gotten to know over the years are stepping up to the plate to help.
Former University of Central Florida stars McKenzie Milton and Gabriel Davis, alongside former NFL defensive back and Dr. Phillips’ standout Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, organized a charity golf tournament to help raise money for Hays and his family.
The tournament will start at 9 a.m. Friday at Dubsdread Golf Course in Orlando.
