FORT MYERS, Fla. - eTradeWire -- The Tommy Bohanon Foundation recently recognized two outstanding contributors to its organization during the annual Playmakers Tailgate Party at The Ranch in Fort Myers.

James Markovits and Extreme Companies of Florida were honored at the April 11 event for their commitment, support and advocacy of the foundation. Markovits was awarded the 2025 Player of the Year award while Extreme Companies of Florida received the 2025 Most Valuable Player Award.

Markovits has been an advocate for each event hosted by the eight-year-old foundation, never missing an opportunity to volunteer. From coaching at the summer football camp to serving as a mentor for the Man Up seminar, he's Tommy's right-hand man. Additionally, Markovits utilizes his network of business associates to promote broader support of the foundation.

Extreme Companies of Florida has supported many Southwest Florida nonprofits over the years, but none more so than the Tommy Bohanon Foundation. The company has not only supported the organization financially, as Presenting Sponsor of the Playmakers Tailgate Party for several years but has also funded other programs organized by the foundation. Further, Jami Hagy, a founding partner of the company, encourages her girls' soccer team to volunteer at foundation events.
