The foundation of former UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway raised more than $300,000 at its inaugural golf tournament last month.

Holloway held the event at Kapolei Golf Club on the island of Oahu to benefit youth support programs across Hawaii.

According to materials released by the UFC, the July 20 fundraiser drew current UFC lightweight champion Justin Gaethje, UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier, retired featherweight fighter Cub Swanson, commentator Jon Anik and former NFL player Kyle Rudolph.

The foundation has already distributed more than $75,000 in grants to four organizations supporting youth and families across Hawaii, according to the press release.

"It started with the idea of bringing people together for something meaningful, and it exceeded our expectations," Holloway said. "Raising over $300,000 at our first tournament is an incredible achievement. The funds are already reaching organizations doing important work across Hawaii."

Buoyed by the success of its debut event, the Holloway Foundation plans to expand the tournament in 2027.
