The Champions Launch at Walmart




The 2010 Walmart Launch was a total success and we were so excited. When we drove up, all we could see was Gabe's face. The Walmart at Bush River Road outdid themselves. Gabe was excited when he saw his picture all over the cupcake cake and when the USC dancers danced. At first we thought Gabe was going to shy away, but Gabe thought he had it going on and HE DID. Gabe was so excited that when Mims asked him who he was, Gabe replied, "I am the president." We all laughed at that.

I was more excited as we entered Walmart because there was Gabe's pictures all over the place. Over the registers and in every department. A customer in the store told Gabe she was going to donate $25. Gabe was hyped about that. He jumped down and said to the woman, "Let me give you a hug.” Cameras were flashing from every angle and Gabe loves the camera. He is not camera shy at all. We all had a blast and would like to thank Walmart and Sam’s Club, Palmetto Health Foundation and especially Mims for a job well done.

We are so excited for the trip to Washington. Gabe asks every day, "When are we going to Washington?” The reply is still the same, soon.
