Organizers held a 10th birthday party/memorial playground fundraiser Feb. 12 at the north ballfields in honor of Adam Hardman

Family and friends of Adam Hardman turned out in force at the north ballfields in Wills Point Feb. 12, hosting a birthday party/memorial playground fundraiser for one of the youngest victims of a single-vehicle accident that occurred back on Nov. 19, 2014

The accident touched many in the community, taking the lives of Wills Point Primary School teacher Trudi Hardman, her husband Michael, a former teacher in Wills Point who was employed at John F. Kennedy Elementary in Terrell at the time of the accident, and three children from their blended family (Adam and Kaci Hardman and Dakota Watson). Two others were also injured in the accident.

With Feb. 13, 2017 marking what would have been Adam Hardman’s 10th birthday, friends of the family and former teammates decided to host a baseball game and other activities as a fundraiser in the hopes of getting closer to an overall goal of reaching the necessary $30,000 for the construction of a memorial playground.
