Dear Holtz’s Heroes Family,
I hope you and your loved ones are enjoying a wonderful summer.
I wanted to take a moment to recognize and celebrate the incredible accomplishments of our recent graduates. I’m proud to share that my daughter, Rayna, graduated from Loyola University Chicago. Our family is filled with excitement for what lies ahead in her journey.
It has brought me so much joy to celebrate the graduates across our Holtz’s Heroes family—from kindergarten graduations to commissioning ceremonies. Each milestone is a powerful reminder of Coach Holtz’s enduring words: “Players come and go, but teammates are forever.” This truth extends beyond the field and into the heart of our Forever Family. I’m deeply grateful that after all these years, we remain connected—supporting one another. It’s my hope that our children, too, experience this same lifelong bond with their classmates.
I also want to take a moment to recognize the graduates supported by our Lou’s Lads Scholarship Program. These remarkable students exemplify the values of Love, Trust, and Commitment. I recently had the privilege of meeting one of our scholarship recipients over lunch, and I was reminded once again how meaningful your support is. Your generous donations not only provide financial assistance but also wrap these students in a network of Holtz’s Heroes members and supporters who truly have their backs.
We have exciting events ahead, including the Notre Dame vs. Miami Celebrity Golf Classic and Reunion Weekend leading up to the Notre Dame vs. Texas A&M game. I encourage you to support these events by purchasing tickets and sponsorships. If you have questions about the Miami golf tournament, please contact Clint Johnson 407-929-7288.
We are Forever Family.
Love. Trust. Commitment.
