The East Bladen High School football team would like to thank everyone who donated to help replace the stolen items from after a playoff game this past season.

The outpouring of generosity, across the state, was beyond belief. Your acts of kindness have helped our young men learn some great life lessons: they have learned how to be there for someone in a time of need and also how to take a negative situation and find a way to turn it into something positive.

Our young men are blessed to be surrounded by so many thoughtful people, from our local communities, as well as the neighboring counties across the state of North Carolina. Thank you once again in helping to teach our young men some valuable life lessons as well as showing them how much you care!

Thank you all and Go Eagles!
