MATTRESS FIRM DONATES $25K TO TICKET TO DREAM FOUNDATION IN SIMONE BILES’ NAME

Simone Biles’ bright smile continues to reign supreme, as Mattress Firm donates $25,000 in her name to the Ticket to Dream Foundation at Mattress Firm’s 11th 2017 Charity Golf Classic.

As a proud representative of the foster child community, Simone Biles is using her amazing platform to partner with Mattress Firm to create awareness of the retailer’s national Mattress Firm Foster Kids program and help promote the importance of sleep.

The golf tournament raised more than $1 million this year, bringing the total to more than $6.7 million over 11 years.

“It has been a privilege to partner with Mattress Firm Foster Kids to support a cause that is so near and dear to my heart,” said Simone Biles. “As a former foster child, I know Ticket to Dream plays a critical role in providing foster children with the essentials they need to succeed. These donations, no matter how simple, can mean the world to a foster child and I’m thrilled to be a part of this organization.”
