The Fly High Fields Foundation was started in honor of Nolan Fields, who passed away from Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at the age of 19. Our mission is to keep Nolan's giving legacy alive by raising scholarships for cancer survivors. Nolan was a loving and caring person to everyone he met, and we hope to positively impact as many lives as possible in dedication to him.

The Fly High Fields Foundation has hosted 2 sporting clay tournaments and 2 partnered tailgate events, and has awarded 3 scholarships to very deserving candidates. Alex Cook received the first Fly High Fields Foundation scholarship. Alex, a recent UAB graduate, has pursued his dream and is now a high school English teacher. Isabella Shimko-Lofano was the second recipient, and she is majoring in pre-med at Auburn University in hopes of becoming an oncologist one day. Our most recent recipient is Carmelo Lampley, who is currently at Southern Union, pursuing a degree in Business Management and HVAC. Nolan and Carmelo had a special relationship that started at Children's Hospital while both were undergoing treatment. Carmelo was actually a part of a program Nolan was involved with to help mentor young kids in the Montgomery area. Nolan was Carmelo's direct mentor, and they both touched each other's hearts and created many good memories with each other. Carmelo states, "he strives every day to make his mom and Nolan proud." With the magnificent story and battle he has endured, he has definitely made his mom and Nolan proud!

With the support of donations and awareness, we can continue to fight this battle and help many more survivors achieve great things. We are happy to announce we are partnering with Kappa Alpha at the University of Alabama to do our third tailgate fundraiser for the Alabama vs. Georgia game on Oct. 10, 2026. We hope to see you there!

We humbly ask for your support for this year's fundraiser! Fly High Fields!
