🏈💙 What an incredible day at the 3rd Annual Deaf Awareness Day with the Battlehawks!

A huge shoutout to Rachel Ebner for her stunning ASL performance of the National Anthem. Her signing was featured on the JumboTron throughout the anthem, allowing thousands of fans to experience its beauty and meaning. 🤟🇺🇸 Also, a shoutout to Battlehawks for providing captioning throughout the game, too.

While the Battlehawks didn’t come away with the win, our Deaf community showed up strong, filled the stands with energy, and had an amazing time cheering together. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this event such a success!

The season isn’t over yet! As the No. 2 seed, the St. Louis Battlehawks will face the Louisville Kings on June 7. A victory will send them to the championship game on June 13. 🏆
