The BYU Football team has a charity called "Thursday's Heroes" that connects the BYU players with kids who have special needs or who are experiencing challenging circumstances. The kids get to go to the Thursday practice, hang out with the players, and get tons of awesome gear.
Holly Mendenhall put togther a fundraiser for the charity. Due to the fact that Mimi and Pop know the Mendenhalls and they are very generous, we got an invite. Thanks Mimi and Pop for a wonderful evening!
There was an auction to break some of the players out of jail. Dinner with that player went to the highest bidder and Mimi and Pop bought JJ Di Luigi, starting running back.
Bruce and Mary Smith, friends of Mimi and Pop, are huge JJ fans.
We all had to get our picture with this guy.
Oh, and then there is the quarterback, Mr. Jake Heaps.
And Cody Hoffman, wide receiver.
It was so fun to meet all the players, eat some amazing food, and dance to country music which is only allowed on this special occasion. It got us totally stoked for football season.
