ClinTonya’s will apply her grant to assist with the Carnival at the Classic event sponsored by More Than a Village on which she serves as a Board Member. More Than a Village is an organization whose founding purpose is to provide outreach, fellowship, and interventions to the children of Mighty Marching Hornets who have passed away. The Carnival at the Classic brings together current Alabama State Mighty Marching Hornets members, alumni marching members, and the children and families of members that have passed away. Their goal is to build a safe, welcoming, and family-friendly environment for everyone to come together.
The event will be open to tailgaters and football game attendees and will consist of food, games, and entertainment. The funds raised will help More Than a Village provide birthday gifts, holiday gifts, and school supplies to children of deceased band members. ClinTonya and More Than a Village truly embody the essential of “Generosity of mind, heart, and hand” and TBSAA wishes great success on this amazing event.
