First Montana Football Game and a Coin Toss Make a Dream Come True

Polson local Elijah Crick was chosen by the Montana Hope Project in partnership with Dream Come True to celebrate with the Griz homecoming and be their coin tosser.

Elijah, a Polson Middle School seventh grader, has cerebral palsy, a seizure disorder, and a traumatic brain injury due to a traumatic birth.

He was granted his wish as a 4-year-old through the Montana Hope Project, a state-wide organization that grants wishes to children living with life-threatening illnesses.

During the Griz homecoming weekend, Elijah and his brother Samuel got a tour of the locker rooms, weight room, and stadium from Monte.

Elijah's dream came true with the help of the Montana Hope Project and Dream Come True.
