For Abby

Last night was the Dixie Rebels Semi-Pro Football game charity game for Abby Doman. Abby is a twelve year girl in need of a heart transplant. Last month Abby colapsed at her school and was without a pulse for over 7 minutes. The surgery will cost 1.5 million dollars and for a single mother of three, it is impossible to achieve alone. As a dancer for this football team, we knew that last nights game would be the biggest of the season, and it was. But at half time when we were told that we had only raised 2,500 from admissions, we knew we had to do more. Myself and the other dancers went through the bleachers asking for donations for Abby. I was amazed at how generous people were. Groups of teenagers would gather their money together before we even came and asked them for it and when one man handed me a $100 bill I got tears in my eyes. It was a successful night for the Doman family and the football team smashed their competition too. We were able to raise over $4,100 for Abby.
