Night of Champions 2024

This July, Mizzou Football hosted the fourth annual Night of Champions event for foster and adoptive families in our community. We coordinate this event in partnership with For Others, a foster care collective organization based in Franklin, Tennessee. Night of Champions has become one of our favorite traditions! Every year, it is so exciting to see children experience this one-of-a-kind event.

For many Coyote Hill kiddos, Night of Champions is a night that they look forward to throughout the year. Because this is our fourth year, many veteran Mizzou Football players were able to recognize children they had been partnered with in the past. We are so grateful for the excitement, energy, and commitment these players bring to this event. They consistently engaged the children in their groups with encouragement.

Over 60 children from 3rd to 8th grade did rotations of drills and games throughout the afternoon. Players were assigned to groups of children based on their position group. At the end of the afternoon, everyone ran through an obstacle course that ended with each child diving to catch a touchdown. Afterwards, players, children, and parents ate dinner and had the opportunity to play on Faurot Field.

This event was so impactful for many children.Thank you to Mizzou Football and For Others for your partnership and investment in Coyote Hill Foster Care Ministries and the families we serve.
