The Taylor Whitley Show Up Foundation

At A Glance

The Taylor Whitley Show Up Foundation highlights and recognizes high school and college students who exemplify "SHOWING UP" through grants and scholarships. Taylor was a former Aggie and NFL football player, but more importantly his motto was Show Up. Give a Flip. and Repeat!

Showing Up is the extraordinary act of making a difference in someone else's life by valuing them more than yourself.

The unique characteristic of this award is the fact that it is CHARACTER based, not ACADEMIC based. Exactly as Taylor would have it. Taylor believed that character was everything and that your character would be your legacy..... exactly how his became.

Jasmine Royston

Jasmine showed up when: As a member of the Brazosport High School band, she supported the football team against their rivals during a heavy rainstorm. The rest of the band left the stands due to a weather delay - except for Jasmine. She stayed, and singlehandedly played her team to victory that evening. Both the team and the community were impressed and touched by her perseverance.
