In 2006, Mardy decided to form his own foundation and join forces
with his childhood friend country singer Jake Owen to create an
event that would benefit the Vero Beach community through a
combination of his and Jake’s greatest loves; tennis and music. The
result was Mardy’s Tennis & Jake’s Music Fest to Benefit the Mardy
Fish Foundation. Fish and Owen have been joined at the Event by
professional athletes and celebrities.
Beneficiary:
The Mardy Fish Foundation was established to support youth
organizations in Indian River County. The Foundation has utilized
funds from Mardy’s Tennis & Jake’s Music Fest to provide after
school programs in the community. The Foundation opened the Pelican
Island Elementary School/Mardy Fish Music Club and Health & Fitness
Club September 11, 2007. The program provides a place for children
to go and partake in various activities that will help them better
themselves using sports, music, art and dance.
The Mardy Fish Foundation is expanding the program this fall with
the addition of three after school programs in community schools. In
addition, the Foundation will continue to support other youth
organizations, including the Boys & Girls Club of Vero Beach, and
the Youth Guidance Foundation, which is dedicated to enriching the
lives of children in need in Indian River County through the
establishment of positive mentoring relationships with
volunteer adults. The Youth Guidance Foundation will use the funds
raised by the Mardy Fish Foundation to provide children the
opportunity to attend summer camp and participate in sports and
music programs.
