Honoring a legacy. Launching a mission. Investing in the next generation.
This is More Than a Moment
Laced in Legacy is more than an event—it’s a turning point.
What began as a way to honor Anthony Jolly through a single scholarship is growing into something bigger: a foundation built to create lasting impact for student athletes and our community.
Anthony’s energy, leadership, and ability to bring people together left a mark that continues to live on through everyone who knew him. This event is about carrying that forward—together.
A New Chapter Begins
During this special evening, we will officially launch the Anthony Jolly Foundation—expanding our mission beyond a single scholarship into a platform that supports student athletes through leadership, perseverance, and community.
We will also proudly announce our 2026 scholarship recipient, recognizing a student who embodies the same values Anthony lived every day.
