Sybrena Foster, Director of Media and Community Relations for the Pit Bulls shared with the crowd a stirring story of Williathe's difficult past and how she has overcome some great difficulties to endure. According to Ms. Foster, "One of our goals at the Pit Bulls is to make an impact in the community; we've been doing things all season that often go unnoticed. We appreciated the opportunity to showcase this one effort because it symbolized what this is all about. And the crowd really responded."
The effort was coordinated with South Florida's own Cox Radio's WEDR 99 JAMZ, represented by DRIVE at 5 host, K FOX and the Director of Marketing and Promotions, Mr. Maestro.
