 Bisons
Give Back at Prom
A handful of Lipscomb baseball players were
invited to a prom in November and made sure to make the night
special for many of the guests.
Jonathan Allison, Tyson Ashcraft, Hunter
Brothers, Griffin Moore and Adam and Josh Lee were special
guests at the Annual Albert Pujols Family Foundation Autumn
Prom. The
event, held at the Gaylord Opryland, celebrates and benefits
those with Down syndrome.
The Bisons
baseballers helped guests out of their cars, walked special
guests down the red carpet and did their fair share of dancing.
“The Lipscomb guys
danced the whole night,” Carolyn Naifeh, regional director of
the Pujols Family Foundation, said in a release from the school.
“They made sure there weren’t any wallflowers and that everyone
felt valuable and welcome. They really made the evening special
for so many of the guests.”
