The Jacksonville Sharks Foundation, in partnership with True Vet Solutions and Coryell Roofing, is proud to announce the 2025 Helping Hands for Heroes Scholar Athlete award recipients — three exceptional student-athletes who demonstrated remarkable appreciation for the sacrifices made by our nation's veterans.
Luke Harmon has been named the True Vet Solutions Helping Hands for Heroes Scholar Athlete and is the recipient of a $5,000 scholarship from True Vet Solutions. Luke's heartfelt essay captured what it truly means to honor and support those who have served.
In addition, Vincent Galella and Fareed Coleman were also recognized as scholarship recipients, each earning $2,500 courtesy of Coryell Roofing for their compelling essays and dedication to honoring veterans.
But the giving didn't stop there. True Vet Solutions and Coryell Roofing generously ensured that every student-athlete walked away a winner — awarding $500 scholarships to every remaining participant whose essay did not take the top spots.
Their commitment to recognizing these inspiring young leaders is a testament to the power of community support.

The Jacksonville Sharks Foundation, in collaboration with VetTix, is proud to offer local Jacksonville veterans and their families the opportunity to attend professional arena football games and enjoy watching the Jacksonville Sharks.
"Another awesome night at the Jacksonville Sharks game thanks to VetTix! Can't thank everyone enough for what you do for us veterans!"
"A big shout out of thanks goes to the Jacksonville Sharks - IFL for providing 4 tickets for my family and me to see the game last night. It was an exciting game at the Vystar Veteran's Memorial Arena where the Sharks beat the Green Bay Blizzards in a very exciting high scoring game right down to the wire. This was their season ender...and Military Night with lots of tributes to the military service. We had a great time. Thank you Jacksonville Sharks for supporting our military!"
"Thank you to the Jacksonville Sharks for the tickets and for hosting a solid Veterans Appreciation Night. It was a great time and meant a lot to be recognized."
