Looking for some authentic NFL gear?  If  so, you don’t  want let this chance pass you by. Saluda Trail Middle School has been selling tickets for $4 each for a chance to win an authentic Buffalo Bills helmet autographed by former Clemson Wide-receiver Sammie Watikins, and Saluda Trail’s own Stephon Gilmore, who was a corner back for USC. Tickets will be available through tomorrow morning. By purchasing at ticket, not only are you getting chance to win some gear, but you will be supporting a great cause.

“All of the proceeds are going to Dr. Marshall,” said Mr. Hamm, who is the 7^th grade administrator. The drawing for the helmet will occur Friday.

Dr. Marshall is a 7th grade ELA teacher who teaches on Team 7-3 . She had a double organ transplant at the start of the school year. Dr. Marshall, who received a new kidney and pancreas at the Medical University of  South Carolina in Charleston, was out of the classroom for 9 weeks.  She had suffered from diabetes for 22 years.

Mr. Hamm said the idea for the drawing came from Gilmore’s youngest sister, Savannah who is a 7^th grader here at STMS. Mr. Hamm said they were able to get the helmet signed through their public relations person.

If you haven’t purchased a ticket, you can still purchase one from Mr. Hamm or the front office through tomorrow morning.
