Steph Curry donates $25K to Scott Harrington’s wife Jenn

Scott Harrington did not participate in the tournament because he stepped away from the game to take care of his wife Jenn. She is battling Hodgkin lymphoma. Jenn Harrigton was initially diagnosed in August 2017. After intense chemotherapy, she was cancer-free last December. But doctors discovered the cancer had returned in May 2018.

Curry heard about their story, and gave $25,000 to the couple’s GoFundMe page.

Ellie Mae will also make a $15,000 donation to Harrington’s page.

How did Jenn and Scott Harrington respond to Curry’s donation?

Jenn tweeted that she was grateful for all the support she’s received. She said she and Scott will pay back all the generosity one day.

Scott thanked Curry and said he and Jenn look forward to meeting him on the golf course next year.
