Six year old Khamari Gadson from Wedgefield, S.C. and 12-year old Everett McFadden from Marion, Ark. and their families joined the team the Thursday Night Football game Dec. 9 at LP Field.
Khamari and Everett pulled into Baptist Sports Park in style as they arrived by limo to spend Wednesday afternoon with the team. Their wish was granted by the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the Tennessee Titans as they got to tour the Titans training facility, Baptist Sports Park, where they checked out the Titans training room, weight room and locker room - discovering their very own locker with personalized jerseys.
They watched the team practice in the indoor bubble and were greeted by the team after practice as Titans Head Coach Jeff Fisher brought them into the huddle before they broke for lunch.
Photos and autographs were shared before they joined the team for lunch at the Titans training table. On game day, they were given a tour of LP Field and the NFL Network booth before joining the team on the sideline for various festivities and warm-ups. Khamari and Everett were featured on the team Jumbotron before welcoming the players onto the field during introductions.
The Tennessee Titans have had a long standing relationship with the Make-A-Wish Foundation and enjoy making wishes come true for many.
