Skylar's Hope Scholarship
Skylar Holly was a beloved son who tragically and suddenly lost his life in August of 2022, leaving this world too soon.
Skylar was entering his senior year of high school before his untimely death. He was a motivated student enrolled in a running start program for firefighting/EMS and was well on his way to pursuing a career in firefighting. Skylar’s dream was to help his community as a first responder.
