The family of Beckham Egglefield would like to give a GIGANTIC thank you to all who braved the heat and the pre-game thunderstorm today.
To all donors: Thank you thank you thank you. You didn’t even come play, but you felt the cause was worth your hard earned money. You keep this foundation afloat and able to help local kids!
To the players: For some of you he was a peer, for some a classmate, for some a friend, and for some just an acquaintance. But for all of you, his memory mattered enough for you to sweat like crazy in honor of him. Thank you.
To the volunteers: we COULD NOT have done this without you all. Brad and Sarah stood over a hot grill in 94° Real Feel temps to make food. Sarah, Heather, Claire and Grace manned the registration table. Justin and Jeannie sold shirts (I pretended to help). Hokey and David reffed, with Kent as the substitute ref. Maddox and Jack helped us get the set up done and even waited out a thunderstorm.
To Ryan Hathaway and Hometown Electric, KZ Farm and Egglefield Bros. Ford: your donations made it possible for all profits to go into the foundation, allowed people to be fed, and put pretty sweet shirts on their backs!
To our girls: We know the chaos of these events for your brother can be time consuming and emotional, and can steal our attention from you a bit. But thank you for always jumping in and helping every single time. We love you.
The biggest thanks (but not to minimize the others) goes to Arin. Without Arin’s uncanny ability to put on events, dictate, remember small details, and allow us to use the center, we would not be able to pull off this event. Arin, thanks for being an actual superhuman. Despite the early morning “we forgot to get balls” text (thanks for coming in clutch, Mika), the “shoot, we never grabbed change”, and the “we forgot to bring out the freeze pops” we made it happen.
Again, thank you all. This entire year has been incredibly hard, but people like all of you help us to know our son is remembered.
I hope I didn’t forget anyone, but I’m overheated and tired, so I may have! Lol SO THANK YOU TO EVERYONE!
