Kayla DarbyKayla Darby Volleyball Tournament Update: Words cannot begin to express our appreciation for all your help and support with the Kayla Darby Volleyball Tournament held on Saturday, July 2, 2008. The tournament raised almost $4,000 to be placed in the Regions Bank fund for the family.  A very big Donoho “Thank You” goes out to all the area teams that participated in the tournament! Kayla was able to attend and be with her teammates and still had it in her to serve the volleyball!  If the doctor's would have allowed she would have done a whole lot more on the court.   What an amazing show of strength and courage!  For those of you not able to attend, thank you for your thoughts and prayers.  The "Falcon Spirit" was truly felt within Sproull Gymnasium and it was a great day to be a part of the Donoho family.
