Love Over All Foundation (LOAF) Fundraiser

The Maestro Marley Cup was created by Ky-Mani Marley and Big Hair Dave from The Dubplates to help raise funds for the Love Over All Foundation.  The Love Over All Foundation (LOAF) helps communities in need through sports and music.   The Love Over All Foundation ‘s keynote project, Falmouth United, is a soccer center and team providing a safe space for the Jamaican youth to help keep them off the streets and invested in their future.  Through last year’s event, Ky-Mani and the foundation donated tens of thousands of dollars that impacted the community by adding electricity to the sports center, providing new shoes, uniforms and gear, coaches and staff salaries, transportation for tournaments, providing meals and other essentials.

The Maestro Marley cup is also raising funds for the Hollywood Police Athletic League, a youth program helping prevent juvenile crime and drug use by developing discipline, self-esteem and positive moral values through wholesome competition and positive role models. Donations can also be made online for $5 to help underprivileged youth in Hollywood, Florida and Falmouth Jamaica.

Event sponsors include City of Hollywood, Visit Lauderdale Tourism Board, Hollywood KIA, High Rise Beverage Company and more to be announced.
