Chelsey Holderness, Chairman of the Board

Chelsey Holderness is the founder of The Jolly Trolley Foundation. Chelsey is the co-owner and operator of The Jolly Trolley Company based in Houston, Texas.     

My dedication to helping children has been a lifelong commitment. Beginning with my volunteer work in the church nursery every Sunday during my youth, I cultivated a passion for child development. Despite pursuing a successful career in real estate with The Finger Companies and Greystar Management, my ambition was to establish a business centered around working with children.

In 2017, I collaborated with my husband to launch The Jolly Trolley, transforming my passion into a thriving enterprise that enhances children's motor development skills and enriches their school experience. Our current objective is to extend our Gymnastics program to under-resourced schools that are lacking access to enrichment opportunities. The Jolly Trolley Foundation aims to empower young people through the power of sport, positively impact the community, and bring joy to children across Houston.
