The grant will cover team registration to Arkansas ($300), an FTC Tetrix competition set ($532), Control & Communications Set#2 ($249), & a Rev Hub ($129). This Arkansas grant award is valued $1225. This grant was made possible by the DEKA Foundation, one of the leading research and development companies in the country and is the birthplace of some of the most innovative and life-changing products of our time.

Kids often come in not knowing what to expect—of the program, nor of themselves. They leave, even after the first season, with a vision, with confidence, and with a sense that they can create their own future." | Great Things Happening to MSD Student Bryce WolfordThe Marion Patriots Athletics Network would like to recognize one of our proudest Patriot supporters, Bryce Wolford!

A note from Robin Miller Wolford: "The Miracle League chooses players with Special Needs all over the world and we were so honored that Bryce was chosen to represent the Miracle League of Crittenden County. We had the major support from The West Memphis Boys and Girls Club, MYSA, Diamond Astro's baseball team, Fenter Physical Therapy, Jody Fenter and Julie Roeder among other friends and family who made it possible for us to attend such a Wonderful event. This was such a FUN and Memorable time for Bryce that he and his parents will never forget." |
