Hardee Athletic Foundation

Hardee Athletic Foundation Hardee Athletic Foundation is a 501(C)3 non profit organization whose purpose is to raise funding for athletes in Hardee County.

We do fundraising events in the community to establish funds that enable us to make financial grants to our athletes. HAF has contributed over $280,000.00 in grant monies to Hardee County Athletes. We have provided college scholarship dollars for more than 50 Hardee High School student athlete graduates. The foundation funds the Hardee High Athletic Academic Coach who assists athletes in their aca

demic career at HHS. The athletic academic coach helps them prepare for college and assists coaches by encouraging academic success with their student athletes. We provide ACT or SAT prep classes for our student athletes. We have established a Hardee Athletic Foundation Hall of Fame honoring those who have made significant contributions to Hardee Athletics and represent, "Once a Wildcat Always a Wildcat"

The 2004 Wildcat Football Team and their coaches celebrated their 10-0 season along with the District title.
All their games were played on the road due to Hurricane damage to Wildcat Stadium. This is a special group and Hardee Athletic Foundation was pleased to honor them alongside a community member who was instrumental in the construction of Wildcat Stadium, Mr. Lawrence A. Roberts.
Great night to be a Wildcat!

Last evening offered another occasion for Hardee County to take pride, honoring the accomplishments of our predecessors. We pondered the rich legacy that has been passed down to us. Paying tribute to 2025 Hall of Fame Inductee Lawrence A. Roberts and the tough, perseverance of the 2004 Wildcat Football Team was particularly impressive. Our appreciation is extended to Photos by Hollie Hollie Blair for her stunning photographs of the 2025 Hall of Fame Dinner.
