Lakota West’s first True Strength Ability Awareness Night was absolutely incredible! 🎉
Fresh off the plane from Austin, Texas, President Jordan Hicks was welcomed by the West Chester Police Department with open arms and a staggering $2500 donation from the FOP Lodge 186!

Jordan was deeply honored to send a video message to Paige, one of the officer’s relatives. The radiant smile that spread across her face upon hearing from one of her favorite Eagles players was truly heartwarming. Moments like these remind us of the profound impact we can have on others, and they make all our efforts worthwhile. Thank you Paige for making a positive impact on our lives. #FlyEaglesFly
During @JordanHicks visit to @westchestertwp, he learned about a devoted @Eagles fan named Paige. Her admiration for Jordan has blossomed since the unforgettable 2017-18 Super Bowl run, truly showcasing the powerful connection that sports can create.

We were incredibly fortunate to be joined by another wonderful friend, Colts center and 5-time Pro Bowler Ryan Kelly, along with his wife Emma, his father, and his brother. We cannot express our sincere gratitude for their unwavering generosity and continued support.
Ryan and Emma deeply understand the importance of making a difference, and their passion for supporting individuals with disabilities resonates with us.

The National Anthem performance by our True Strength Honorees was truly inspiring! It gave everyone chills and set the perfect tone for the game. What a powerful and unforgettable moment.

This event would not have been possible without the incredible generosity of Phelan Insurance. Their generous donation of t-shirts and a PlayStation 5 was truly instrumental to its success.

A special shout-out to the student body and Mrs. Nikki Roether! Mrs. Roether mentored the HOSA group in creating their own impactful True Strength night – an event that will leave a lasting legacy. These students demonstrated the selfless spirit that defines True Strength. We look forward to hearing about the event’s positive influence on all who were involved. #WestPride
