Meet Fresno State Kid Captain Audrey

Published on Sep. 13, 2024

Each football season, we team up with Fresno State for a once in a lifetime experience for a few lucky patients. At every home football game, one Valley Children’s patient is selected to be the Kid Captain of the game. They get to participate in the coin toss with the team, along with being part of the on-field festivities. For the 2024 season, we have six special Kid Captains to introduce you to the day before each big game!  

Meet Audrey!  

This music-loving 9-year-old Audrey loves to go to musicals and swim!  

At just 5 months old, Audrey was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy, a rare genetic disease that causes progressive muscle weakness. Audrey is cared for by doctors in several of the nationally ranked pediatric specialties at Valley Children’s. 

When this 4th grader grows up, she hopes to be a police officer!  

Cheer on Audrey and the 'Dogs at Valley Children’s Stadium on September 14!
