Sunday will be a special day for Telsey Dennison and her family.
From noon to 2 p.m. Sunday, family, friends, and community members will gather at Telsey's house, 847 Birch Drive, just south of Centennial Park, for an early graduation party for the Salina South High School senior. According to 99KG's Shane McClintock, who is helping to organize the event, the public is invited to help Telsey celebrate.
Why the early party? Telsey has cerebral palsy and with her current prognosis, she may not make it to Salina South's graduation on May 15, McClintock noted.
When McClintock found out that Telsey was a huge fan of the gameshow Deal or No Deal, he started putting together a version of the game for Telsey to play during the party. Within days after McClintock put the word out seeking sponsors to help with the cost of the prize cases, the game came together thanks to the generosity of of a number of community members.
"Boxes/briefcases will be filled with flowers, stuffed animals, and tissue paper," McClintock said.
Additionally, there will be Papa John's pizza, Lucky D's BBQ, and hot dogs, he said.
So stop by. Have some food. And help Telsey celebrate her graduation!
