Tammy is a champion for higher education and excellence. As the oldest child and first to attend college, she dreamed of her siblings having the same opportunity. From vision to reality, Tammy was ecstatic to see each of them go to college; and even accompanied them on freshman move-in day! 

​

Over the years, Tammy and her husband, Patrick, have been blessed with many opportunities to help students. In particular, they partnered with North Carolina State University to sponsor a Student Athlete Study room (now Case Athletic Center). They, also, created the Holt Foundation as a vehicle to assist others reach their dreams.
