Moving differently through spaces 🧡

The few times each year I can bring myself to walk into the KWHS front office, my heart still races a thousand beats per minute, and my mind finds its way back to that one Saturday morning.

Facing the fear, the doubt, the heartbreak and the unknown will never be easy - but what brings a smidgen of comfort is knowing that your legacy moves differently through spaces now.

Join the KWSA gang at Class Night next Wednesday May 27, as we proudly award $15,500 in scholarships to 11 incredible senior athletes 👨🏽‍🎓👩🏽‍🎓

To our community 🐚: thank you for continuing to move with us. Your love, support, and belief in KWSA make moments like this possible, and I'm forever grateful for the way you all continue to show up for us 🙏🏽🧡

We love you all so much 🤍

It's May 🌻
And I'm sitting here wondering - where has the time gone? And what have I really done with it, if anything at all?

Then I pause and remember... this is a BIG month for us at 🧡
Just a tiny moment in the grand scheme of life, but one where we get to share the impact of a year's worth of heart, hustle, and community support.

Our small, volunteer-based 501(c)(3) has already packed quite the punch this year 💥
🏅 1️⃣5️⃣ local kids are continuing to play the sports they love
🎓 1️⃣0️⃣ KWHS Seniors are receiving the Dexter Butler Memorial Scholarship
🏀 1️⃣ KWHS Conch's basketball player is receiving the William 'Bill' Butler Memorial Scholarship

To the seniors who applied - thank you. This group is incredibly special in ways that go far beyond what can be captured in a social media post ❤️

We're so proud of you and can't wait to celebrate at Class Night on May 27! 🎉

So many connections captured in a single photo 📸

Once upon a time, Coach reached out to for support in helping Allens Alexandre, a KWHS Conch Wrestler, compete on the national stage in Utah. It was an honor to play even a small role in giving a local student-athlete the exposure he earned.

Fast-forward to this past weekend: Coach Chaz shared that Allens toured the campus - and received an offer to join the program.

While there, Allens stood in front of Coach Dexter's photo in the athletics facility - once, teammates cheering him on after a home run - today, it's Dexter cheering on the athletes we are able to help through the organization he created.

Allens, you've got a whole community behind you !
