From PR Fantasy Football Draft to Team PR

It all started with our Fantasy Football team draft, which in the end resulted in one amazing team, Team PR.

Our Relay For Life Kickoff was a “perfectly pitched” event.

I was amazed at the flexibility of our team in seeing that everything was accomplished even if that meant doing something that was not an assigned task. Our team had the ability to recognize the need of the group and meet it as quickly and efficiently as possible. I think one of the greatest parts about being on a team is recognizing the strengths of individuals and then using those strengths to get the best results for the team. I can honestly say that this event could not have been implemented successfully without our entire team working together as one unified team.

It has been said that the team is as strong as its weakest link. While the lack of cupcakes may have been the missing link the morning of our event, I would argue that our event did not have a weakest link. Our team faced challenges, but we never let them interfere with our game plan- to make the event a success.

I would like to extend some quick shout outs to our team because I am so proud of all the work we accomplished for this event.

Cara- way to see things through even when you got sick, the decorations were fantastic

Courtney- kudos on the banner

Andrea and Keri- wonderful job making those final pieces come together with the slideshow

Beth and Tori -great job toughing it out there to get all those burgers and hotdogs cooked

Marianna- well done to you and the cupcake crew they were all so beautiful and delicious

Cassie- way to get the coleslaw and clean those dishes with cheer

Anna- making our candy list and bringing in the mother-load

Brooke- our MVP way to get Grits to hand it all over

Corinne- getting the insane amount of icing

Jennifer- making those birthday cards with a smile

Rachel - your gift wrapping (a skill I obviously don’t have)

Lyric -your composure as team captain and ability to keep the big picture in mind was valuable to our teams’ success.

Finally, to the woman who coached our team from the beginning when we were just draft picks to preparing us for the big game day event and making sure that we had enough cupcakes and even some gluten-free ones before the kickoff. Thank you Dr. Miller.

Whoever said woman can't play football, they were wrong.

Way to Go TEAM PR!
