BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Lexy, better known as Shnow Girl, was given the trip of a lifetime, an all-expense paid trip to Superbowl LVIII on February 11.
It's all thanks to Dion Dawkins' foundation Dion's Dreamers.
"I realized it was him and I got so excited," said 8-year-old Lexy.
The surreal moment was captured through our 7 News cameras at West Herr Automotive Group in East Aurora.
"I didn't even think it was real. It was a complete shock to me," said Lexy's aunt Michelle. "We had to trick her into getting here. I told her we were coming for a Dion Dawkins cardboard cutout. That was part of the plan."
Dion's first initiative was to get people necessities, but then it grew into something greater than he could ever imagine.
"Then it turned into mentoring, and then to just going to a school where the kids don't ever see us. We're playing basketball, having a meal, and just kicking it," Dawkins said.
"You know I'll never forget this ever, until I die," Lexy said.
"I'm feeling love. I'm feeling love. Pureness," Dawkins added. "I told myself I would not get emotional, but when it's true and when it's pure you can only try to hide it so much."
