Sam is a joyful 12-year-old whose kindness, intelligence, and infectious personality leave a lasting impression on everyone he meets. Living with autism, Sam approaches the world in his own unique way, bringing endless joy to those around him. Whether he’s being the best friend someone could ask for or embracing his role as a loving big brother, Sam has a heart that shines brightly.
Sports are where Sam truly comes alive. A devoted football fan, he is especially fascinated by the larger-than-life mascots that bring excitement and energy to every game. From the pregame warmups to the roar of the crowd, Sam loves every moment of the game-day atmosphere. Nothing makes him happier than being cheered on, hyped up, and surrounded by people sharing in his excitement.
Outside of sports, Sam is incredibly creative, with a natural talent for drawing and an impressive gift for playing the drums.
Sam’s Dream is to experience the ACC Football Championship as a VIP while spending the day with the incredible ACC mascots he loves so much. Meeting his favorite mascots, soaking in the championship atmosphere, and being part of the action will make for a day he’ll never forget.
