Charity
Since 1989, Hansen has been in charge of the Dale Hansen Golf Classic, which benefits the Texas Can! schools.
In 1990, Hansen joined with the Dallas Can! schools. However, he and his The Hansen Foundation recently split from the 16-year partnership, as a result of lawsuits against each side totaling almost $700,000.
Starting in 2007–2008, The Hansen Foundation will sponsor $100,000 of scholarships for University of North Texas students, with the money coming from the annual Dale Hansen Golf Classic.
On July 10, 2010 Dale Hansen is bringing back his legendary backyard party to benefit Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS) Research. www.DallasALS.org

“These days are dangerous;
Virtue is choked with foul ambition,
And charity chased hence by rancor’s hand.”
