Tony & Lauren Dungy
have been married for over 30 years and are the parents of ten children. At the heart of the Team Dungy book series is a strong desire to invest in the lives of youth and their families. Through Tony and Lauren’s charitable work with organizations such as the Dungy Family Foundation, Basket of Hope, and various adoption agencies, women’s shelters, and Title 1 schools in the Tampa, Florida area, they are committed to improving the lives of kids. This series is an extension of that mission.
