Family of Brad Palmberg - Dylan & Kerri Jennings

It is with broken hearts that we want to come together to support our friend Kerri Jennings and her family as she mourns the loss of her husband, Brad Palmberg. Brad and Kerri's most cherished thing on this earth is their son Dylan. Dylan is a freshman at the University of Kansas. We would love to support their family during this time in raising funds for Dylan's college. Kerri and Brad have shaped the lives of many during their seasons of coaching and we are grateful to be able to show our support during this unimaginable time. Whether through a donation, a share, or through your prayers, we want to shower Kerri, Dylan and their family with our love.
