Holly Carney and her husband John Carney, NFL Place-kicker [23 years], began fundraising through their 501c3 Kick Start for Kids which raised over 60% of the revenue for Freshstart Surgical Gifts, in their first thirteen years. Today, Freshstart has its own wing in Children’s Radys Hospital. Holly and John went on to open several more 501c3s: Breaking the Walls of Jericho to help teens in crisis, Dinner with the Pros which aided several Catholic Charities in Southern California, The John Carney Foundation to aid families in need, and God’s Rave which gathered youth groups for the summer months to allow youth ministers a rest and support.

As an educator, Holly wrote a children's book regarding step-mothers and produced a song to accompany her book. Holly opened her first company to launch an online store for her children’s book Wicked Not, along with apparel and cards for blended families.

Over two decades, Holly created and wrote curriculum for a variety of elementary school, junior high and high school programs involving athletics and faith formation. In parallel, her enthusiasm for creating and teaching transitioned into her passion for producing family friendly films and development for content in film and television.

Holly began her career in the film industry as a Development Executive for the Independent Film space. Holly works alongside her adult children, JD Carney and Kiki Carney, to make a difference leaving a positive impact on the culture through film.
