Hanna4Hope

Jacket volleyball family,

I am so very proud that our players, parents and coaches were a part of the community of people that poured their heart and soul into the awesome Hanna4hope event on Saturday. I got word that $25,000 was raised and they are still counting!! It was truly inspiring to see the leadership, initiative, wherewithal and commitment of countless volunteers to make the day great. This was and continues to be bigger than RHS volleyballI but I am so glad we were a part. I hope, pray and have faith we will continue to support the Clark family wherever and whenever we can. I also pray that as we walk through life we are able to use all things to keep our eyes on the right thing and our hearts in the right place. Cindalee put together an awesome collage that is a part of this post.

Thank you
Damon Wilson
