To honor and memorialize the children and their families served by Children's Harbor located one block off of UAB's campus, the Blazer football team will wear the names of patients on the back of their jerseys for UAB's Homecoming game vs. Louisiana Tech.

The 100 game jerseys will be presented to each child and their family after the game.

A section of Legion Field will be filled with honored Children's Harbor families to cheer on the Blazers and the 100 players participating in this heartfelt project. For these families to be together in a joyful, carefree setting allows them to put aside – for a few hours – the everyday realities of doctor visits, stress and fatigue that comes with caring for a child who has serious chronic illness.
