Lawrence Wilkinson

From an early age, his unwavering dedication and passion for the team have been at the center of his story. Lawrence embodies what it means to Keep Pounding. That mantra took a deeper meaning in 2014 when he lost his mother to lung cancer. During one of the hardest times in his life, the team, the fans and the community became a source of comfort and strength. The support he found in the stands and among fellow fans reminded him that Keep Pounding is more than words it's a way of life.

His love for the game is matched only by his love for his family and the people around him. When he's unable to attend a game, he shares his tickets with other families to give them a chance to experience their first game. So, they can create lasting memories.

At every game he shows the same passion, loyalty and kindness that his mother taught him cheering with the crowd, connecting with fans around him and inspiring others to keep pushing forward no matter what. Through his heart, generosity and dedication he continues to honor her legacy and teams' mantra.
