THIS STORY WILL NEVER END
It's about the youth of Pine Island, the communities surrounding it and faith. It is about a little boy named Bobby. He grew up on Pine Island surrounded by saltwater and mangroves. Bobby loved to fish, boat, and hunt, and he played football and baseball. He had lots of friends. He loved his school, Pine Island Elementary, and all of his classmates and teachers.
Bobby played for the Reds Little League baseball team and football for the Cape Youth Football Association. A fine young man who was growing up right, he had a genuine concern for the welfare of his friends and teammates. At the age of 11, Bobby lost his life in a hunting accident in 1997.
The story of Bobby lives on as local lore of a special little boy gone too soon. His classmates are now grown up and many have children of their own. This annual tournament is now a tremendously popular spring event and now includes the Lil Bobbers tournament. It draws sponsorship and participants from throughout Southwest Florida raising much-needed funds for the youth of Pine Island. The Bobby Holloway, Jr. Memorial Fund provides enrichment for virtually every local youth activity in education, sports, the arts, and more from learning to swim to earning a college degree.
