The Holt Foundation was established in 1999 by NFL stars Torry and Terrence Holt on behalf of their mother, the late Ojetta Holt-Shoffner. Cancer took her life in 1996, but her memory lives through the positive ventures of The Holt Foundation. The Holt Foundation strives to be a positive influence on the lives of families struggling with cancer by providing education and support for the entire family.





Big Game supports American Cancer Society by going Pink
10-4-09

On October 4th the National Football League launched its "A Crucial Catch" campaign in conjunction with the American Cancer Society as a way to support Breast Cancer Awareness month. Many players and coaches throughout the league are participating, including Jacksonville Jaguars Wide Receiver Torry Holt.

"It's a no brainer!. I'm wearing the pink gloves because I think this is a great cause and it helps bring awareness to breast cancer. My mother passed away from cancer, even though it wasn't breast cancer, it's still a disease that affects everyone the same way, no matter what part of the body it attacks" says Holt. "So many people lose their lives to cancer. If wearing pink gloves helps bring attention and awareness to get people involved, then I am more than willing to do my part."
