From the proceeds of our annual fundraising event, the Fish for Holly Sailfish Tournament, we offer scholarships for career training and education to young adults in the upper Florida Keys community. We have funded associates, bachelor’s and master’s degrees, beauty school, nursing school, and captain’s licenses. Applicants must be accepted into a program and plan to give back to and work in the Florida Keys community upon completion of their training.

The Holly Given Fund has donated over $125,000 to the Domestic Abuse Shelter of the Florida Keys, thanks to proceeds from the Fish for Holly Sailfish Tournaments. The shelter has an office in Key Largo, a house in Key West, and a house in Marathon is being built after Hurricane Irma destroyed the previous one. The new house in Marathon will have an Outreach Suite in Holly’s name. The Shelter is currently in need of additional funding to complete the Marathon shelter.

The Holly Given Fund donates annually to the Upper Keys Foundation, a non-profit organization partnered with Coral Shore High School to make athletic opportunities available to all.  Holly’s passion throughout her high school years was sports, especially softball, soccer, & volleyball. We saw it fitting to support ladies athletics at her alma mater.  The Upper Keys Foundation, through donations from the community, gives all students the opportunity to participate in sports activities during high school and, in turn, students participate in community service projects.
