United for Morgan

Two rival schools with one purpose, the purpose to give back to one special little girl and her family. 

Morgan Hasty, a fourth grader at Providence Christian School, has been battling sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma (rhabdo) since the year of 2010. She has become such an inspiration to so many people in the Wiregrass Area, and on December 14, 2013 Providence Christian School and Houston Academy were both able to be apart of this inspiration, too. 

With the help and ideas from a few of Providence Christian School's students, the United for Morgan fundraiser quickly assembled to help benefit Morgan and her family with all of the medical expenses that followed after treatments. A flag football game between the junior and senior girls of both schools would help this happen. It didn't stop there though, volunteers and supporters also came to contribute their time and money to fulfill the wish of raising as much money as possible for Morgan! 

The greatest moment of the day for everyone, I think, would have to be when Morgan was able to score the winning touchdown for the Providence Eagles. We were all able to witness an ambitious, brave, young, ten year old girl simply enjoy life and all of its blessings. With her two best friends by her side, Morgan ran down the field with a football in her hand and a smile on her face. Just like that, the football players, cheerleaders, volunteers, and supporters were all able to understand the true reason we were there- not to win a game but to celebrate Morgan and to become united for her! 

At the end of that rainy Saturday in December, the fundraiser was able to give Morgan and her family exactly $8,700.
