On Friday October 19th, Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy, the high school that my husband Mark, is the head football coach at, honored me by having a "Pink Game". The school had special shirts made that said "Cheering for Katie" on the front. Everyone wore the pink shirts to the game and our side of the stands was colored pink! They had pink bead necklaces, pink cupcakes, pink cake-pops, pink tables, pink donation cans, pink, pink, pink!
Words cannot express the emotions that I felt when the athletic director from First Academy in Orlando presented me with a check from his school. I was already overcome with emotions from all that Holy Trinity had done for me that special night! And then to be blessed by the opposing team, I was just a crying mess!
Then to add my tears after First Academy gave me their check our school's athletic director informed me that Holy Trinity was raising money for our family through the donation cans they had around the stadium, and giving me half of the proceeds from the gate, concessions and 50-50 raffle!
It was an incredible night and a special way to be honored. I am so thankful for all the love and support everyone has given to me and my family!
