“Without these people and Washington Juniors Football Club, along with everyone else that donated via GoFundMe or in other ways, none of this would have been possible. You truly are all amazing.”
The match finished coaches 3-1 parents and all the money raised at the event will allow Jenna and her friends and family to make some lasting memories.
