L.U.C.K Week ended with over $15,000 raised for Olivia Nolley’s medical expenses and a promise of Taylor Swift tickets for Olivia provided by KLUV radio station. Although STUCO exceeded their goal, they will sell the purple “Olivia” bracelets for two dollars when they come in.

“I think our campus did a phenomenal job raising money,” Teen Leadership teacher Dena Schimming said, “but more importantly they made Olivia feel like a rock star.”

When senior Caitlin Carpenter found out Olivia liked the Cowboys she decided to use her connections through her mother’s boyfriend, Manny, to get a couple football players at the pep rally. Manny plays professional golf and also gives Miles Austin golf lessons.

“When I found out Keith Davis was going to be there I was so excited,” Carpenter said, “but I really just wanted Olivia to be happy.”

Throughout the week Pump it Up raised $1,000, Double Dave’s raised $345 and the Ping Pong Tournament raised $300. An official total from the shirts and other events has not yet been determined.

“I really loved how the student body came together and donated money for Olivia even though all they had was a piece of paper that gave Olivia’s background,” Carpenter said.

Starting March 1 Kiss FM will host an online auction of autographed merchandize. All proceeds will benefit Olivia’s medical expenses.

“I think it just speaks volumes about how Olivia’s story tugs heart strings,” Mrs. Schimming said. “I think it just shows how amazing things can come out of tragedy.”
