UCA Helps out Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

[JoshUCA]

I don't know if this belongs here (Mods feel free to move it if need be), but the Extreme Makeover crew was recently in Murfreesborro, AR and some UCA Football players, cheerleaders, mascot, and a student spirit group went down to help.

Having met and talked with the host of the show Ty Pennington several times... He is a first class guy, he is the exact same guy in person as he is on television and he holds nothing back during a normal day... im sure this was a great experience for the team and the school as a whole... props for the team and cheerleaders pitching in for a great cause

Here's an update I learned about tonight thanks to treyuca at UCAFANS.COM:

I don't know if http://www.nashvillenews.org/index.php/comments/4194/ was included in one of the other stories.

Quote:
Earlier Tuesday, the family received several new surprises when various organizations and companies donated items to the Collins.

The largest gift was from the University of Central Arkansas. Lu Hardin, the school’s president, offered all six children four-year scholarships worth $24,000 apiece.


Way to go Lu! Way to go UCA! :hurray:

Coastal did pretty much the same stuff for the show in Myrtle Beach-football team players, coaches, cheerleaders, and mascot.
Coastal and the local TEC school then put in some scholarship promises for all of the kids.
