UC student’s class project honors fallen ‘All-Star’
Written by Clinton Randall of BlueBag Media--UNION CITY, Ind. – When recently assigned a ’20-percent project’ by his science teacher Mr. Lehman, Union City 8th grader Hunter Reagan wanted to make it special.
Reagan, a baseball all-star himself, wanted to do something to honor the memory of a fallen friend – Dylan Williams – who tragically lost his life after being struck by a ball during all-star practice in July 2013.
“Dylan’s death was a very emotional moment for me,” Hunter said. “He was a friend of mine and we both loved baseball.”
Hunter came up with an idea to create a peel-and-stick decal that that honors the memory of his friend Dylan that he can sell and raise money for his memorial foundation.
With the help of his parents, Hunter contacted Wintrow Signs in Greenville to get the project started. Joe and Laura Wintrow not only were eager to help out, but Laura let Hunter come in and she helped him develop and print out the decals right there in their shop. When it was all said and done, Hunter left with many decals ready to sell in which Wintrow Signs donated not only time, but all the material included.
Reagan of course hopes for an ‘A’ on the project, but more importantly he is raising money to benefit a life-saving organization. The Dylan Williams Forever an All-Star Foundation uses donations to purchase and donate AED devices to area schools and youth and high school sports venues in case of an emergency – like one that took Dylan at such a young age.
“An AED is important so there are less accidents like what happened to my friend Dylan,” noted Hunter.
Hunter is selling the decals for $8 each…until they are gone. Anyone that would like to purchase one or more can contact Scott and Rhonda Reagan (Hunter’s parents) at 937-564-1125.
The Dylan Williams Forever an All-Star Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization and any donations can be made to Citizens State Bank c/o Dylan Williams Forever An All Star, P.O. Box 427, Union City, Ind. 47390. To learn more about the foundation, like their page on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dylan-Williams-Forever-an-All-Star-Foundation/681507055220520.
