Victory Day comes to Kalahari Field at Huron Memorial
Stadium. The Huron High School and St. Mary’s Central Catholic varsity football
teams , cheerleaders and marching bands are co-hosting a special event for
children with severe learning and physical disabilities. Victory Day provides
children the opportunity to play football, cheer on the squad or march with the
band while their parents, family members and teachers witness the realization
of a dream come true for their child or friend.
Participants will be partnered with a Huron High School or
St. Mary’s football player or cheerleader who will serve as their mentor for
the day. Each child is provided with a full game day experience and given an
opportunity to run or catch a pass for a touchdown.
Victory Day, founded in 2010 by Riverview Michigan native
Aaron Segedi, is a program designed to build character in future leaders
through volunteerism and mentorship. It will be an afternoon of education,
inspiration and fun on the gridiron for cognitively and physically impaired
children in the Sandusky/Huron area, stated Huron Head Football Coach Tony
Legando.
Several area businesses are sponsoring the event and
purchasing medals for all participants. Victory Day will be held at Huron Memorial
Stadium on Saturday, September 6th
from 4-5:30. Although the event is free to the public, the donation of a
canned food item is encouraged. All
donations will go to the Victory Kitchen Food Pantry.
