On Friday, October 7, the varsity football team is having a Friday Night Fight for a Cure to benefit the family of FCHS football alum, Kenny and Samantha Krieg.
Their 5 year old son, Beckett, was diagnosed with B cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) on October 18, 2021. The total treatment time for leukemia is about 3 years, and Beckett should begin his last phase of treatment at the end of September. Beckett recently started kindergarten at Smithton Elementary. He has a brother in 1st grade and a sister in 4th grade who have been his biggest cheerleaders. Beckett is a brave little boy who faced a big battle with cancer head on. In fact, he often says he’s going to “kick cancer’s butt!”
When you purchase a shirt, proceeds will benefit Beckett and his family as they continue the fight. All orders are due by, September 7, and will be delivered to FCHS and distributed the week of the game. Pick up times will be communicated once a delivery date has been confirmed. A limited number of shirts will be available for purchase at the Spirit Shack on October 7 on a first come first serve basis. To SEE THE T-SHIRT DESIGN, PLEASE CLICK ON THE IMAGE.
