About:
The Waltham High School Hawks football family recently came together for a game that meant far more than the final score, dedicating the night to Declan and showing his family that they have an entire community standing behind them.
Players, coaches, families, and supporters united to send a powerful message of encouragement and strength, reminding Declan and his loved ones that they are not facing this journey alone.
The dedication game also helped raise awareness for pediatric and childhood cancer, giving the Hawks an opportunity to use their platform to support a local family while bringing greater attention to a cause that impacts so many children and families.
For Waltham Football, the evening was a meaningful example of what being part of a team and community is all about — showing up for one another, offering support during difficult times, and using the power of sports to make a difference beyond the field.
