The 2025 Heart of Graham recipient is Coach Tuggle & Family

Heart of Graham is designed by Graham Athletics to give back to a community member that has encountered a traumatic life misfortune. The community of Graham is extremely special and a valuable aspect of athletics. Each year, Graham athletics will take nominations from the community and select a recipient. The Heart of Graham is designed to involve the entire community, from Graham High School-Pioneer Elementary, local businesses and Graham residents. 

Graham Athletics will sell T-shirts to show support for the Heart of Graham recipient, corporate sponsorships, have a silent auction and take donations in the stands at the football game. The Heart of Graham recipient and family will be recognized during halftime of the football game. Graham athletics will serve as the platform for the entire community to rally together and come to the aid of one of our own. 

The 2025 Heart of Graham recipient is Coach Tuggle & Family. Coach Tuggle's wife Tracey has battled Glioblastoma Stage IV cancer for the last eight years. The Tuggle family will be recognized at the Graham vs Eagle Mountain football game on Friday, Nov. 7 at 7 p.m. at Newton Field.

T-shirts can now be purchased for $12 each. Pre-order today! 

Also, sponsorships are available and there will be a Silent Auction at the game. All funds raised from sponsorships, t-shirts, and the silent auction will go directly to Coach Tuggle and family.
