Lowell Pink Arrow Pride

Here is a recap of Sept 12, 2008. Lowell Pink Arrow Pride football game.

Lowell High School did a community project headed by the football team. This event raised over 93,000 dollars as of the last update. The Community did a great job of getting involved with this project. First the parents sponsored their sons and bought Jersey's (pink of course) and 31 of 41 families bought their Jersey for 200 dollars. The other 11 Jersey's were in a silent auction and one went for 1000. The 41 Jersey's in all raised 14,000. The Parade was led by Lowell's finest , the police Chief wearing a pink red arrow pride shirt. The council named Sept 12 as Lowell Pink Arrow Pride Day from now on. They sold pink shirts you could buy that said Pink Arrow Pride for 20 dollars. If you wore this shirt you could enter the game free. There were pink balloons all over the stadium. They papered there garbage cans pink. The goal posts were pink, the yard lines, goal pylons, padding for the goal posts. I'm sure I am missing something but you get the pink point. They went all out. All the money raised goes or should I say stays right in the Lowell community. Two scholarships and Lowell Community Wellness Program which will help a family in need that is going through cancer. A High School Football game Raising over 93,000 dollars. Is that amazing or what? That is bodacious! Coach Noel Dean said after the game, that he has never been involved in something so big. He was touched. We all were touched.

I was honored to receive the big Jersey my nephew wore in my honor. It was a tad wet, and a tad smelly but worth every ounce of sweat that was on it. What a great event!
