The Aptos Sports Foundation honored Mark Holcomb and Marc Monte during their 50th Anniversary Gala on Saturday, November 2, 2019. Both men were inducted as honorary alumni for their generosity to Aptos High School.
Mark Holcomb
“This is really a terrific honor,” said Holcomb, who has been involved in supporting the school for decades, pointing to the quality of past graduates as all the reward he needs. Some of those graduates including: Samanta Schancher, Carlos Torres, Trent Dilfer, Alexis Gonzales, Matt Rogers, Mike Gruber and Robert Oberst will shared the stage with Holcomb.
“There are many bricks necessary to build a successful athletic program, and one of the most important bricks is community support. Mark and Marc’s support over the years is nothing short of remarkable, and their bricks are two of the most significant bricks of our athletic foundation. Year after year, their support has been consistent and generous, and they have never turned down any request,” said former Mariners Athletic Director, Mark Dorfman.
