💙 If you have a child with special needs, I can’t recommend Moeller Victory Day enough. 💛

Bear has attended the past two years, and it has truly become one of our favorite days of the year.

The Moeller football players and cheerleaders spend the evening celebrating these incredible kids, making each one feel like the MVP. From running onto the field through a tunnel of cheering players to playing football, making new friends, and hearing their name announced over the loudspeaker, every child gets their moment to shine.

It’s impossible to leave without a smile (and probably a few tears!). If you know a family who would love this experience, please share this with them. We hope to see lots of familiar faces there! 💙🏈💛
