A night with Riley Gaines

Wow what an incredible evening!! This event was more than any of us could have hoped for! Thank you to all of our sponsors that helped make it possible!

Riley Gaines is a class act! She was so personable, authentic, confident, and encouraging. I overheard a 7th grader tell her parents “Riley made me feel like she knew me!! She told me to keep in touch!” And she made every child and adult feel the exact same.

We had over 600 people attend, which included close to 100 students from 4th-12th! We had around 8 teams that were able to be encouraged by her, and her team pictures with her.

Riley’s message was clear, to the point, and she wove scripture into it so gracefully. It was such an encouragement to all who heard. You can listen to it here.

All of the attention received for the evening was positive. We did not have one problem or issue with opposition, praise God!

Thank you again to our sponsors and River Spirit Casino. And thank you Riley Gaines for a memorable evening!!
