Regan Coleman, a senior on last year’s team, and the sister of sophomore team member Zoe Coleman, has been hospitalized since Nov. 16, when she was seriously injured in a single-car crash.
Regan was in a coma and now faces months of rehab work, according to coach Kim Richter.
The team will be at Kroger, 300 S. Locust St., from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 1, asking for donations to help the Coleman family.
“As a community, we want to back her family. They have a lot of medical expenses,” Richter said.
It will be the second year the team has staged such a Super Bowl Sunday fundraiser. Last year, they did the same thing to help the family of an Edgewood teacher, whose young son had been diagnosed with cancer. The money was presented to the family when Talawanda later went to play at Edgewood.
Talawanda players and coaches have been wearing bracelets which say, “We’ve Got Your Back,” and on the other side, “Regan Strong.”
“Somebody in our community is in need,” Richter said. “We want to do that this year.”
