Russell Athletic to Recognize High School Teams Triumphing Over Adversity With 'Fight Like Dylan Award'

Source: Russell Athletic

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. - Russell Athletic today announced the launch of the "Fight Like Dylan Award," a $50,000 uniform and equipment grant, honoring the late Dylan Rebeor of Columbia, Tenn., who lost his battle with colon cancer at the age of 16 on Dec. 3, 2010. Rebeor was a wide receiver on Columbia Central High School's football team, but died just hours before his team won their first state championship in 58 years. Reflective of Rebeor's character and consideration of others, rather than asking the Make-A-Wish Foundation for a trip to Hawaii, or the opportunity to meet his favorite athlete, Dylan's final, selfless desire was for his beloved team to receive brand new uniforms and equipment for the 2011 season.
