MURRAY, Utah — Coming together for a cause, people gathered in Murray to help a local football coach after his family’s house burned down last week.
“I didn’t expect this," said Cori Johnson, the head coach of Murray Mity Mites."I was in shock for 3 or 4 days, and Michelle and Shane and all these people came together and put this together to help us out."“He never gives up, no matter what. He always comes to practice,” said one of his players, Ashton Wills.
The team hosted an event at Riverview Park Saturday where people donated things like food, blankets, clothes and beds for their dogs. They also brought items to give out as raffle prizes. All the money from buying tickets for the raffle will go to the Johnson family. “Well, I almost cried. I think it’s awesome, I think it’s amazing," Cross said."It shows that there are people who care and there are people that are willing to help, and I think that’s awesome that the football community is coming together for such a good cause. It’s very humbling."
