The Chicago Blackhawks will name Herrick seventh grader Gabriella Frank the “Blackhawks Fan of the Game” for her outstanding community service during their game tonight!
“Gabriella received this honor due to her ongoing commitment to her program, Gabi's Helping Hands,” said her mother, Heather. “She created her own program to donate books and school supplies to low-income schools in the Caribbean. She will be donating her 2,000th book during our spring break visit, as part of the 200 pounds of supplies that she will be bringing.”
The Blackhawks will recognize Gabriella during the pre-game radio program, as well as feature her photo on the scoreboard during the actual game.
On a local level, Gabriella has also collected travel size toiletries and donated over 250 bags to the homeless shelters in the area.
Congratulations, Gabriella. You are a wonderful role model. District 58 and Herrick are both very proud of you!
