Join us in honoring the life and legacy of Chance Karnes, a proud Herrin High School Class of 2022 graduate, beloved son of former HHS Football Coach Jason Karnes and Herrin Elementary School Teacher Brandi Karnes. Chance's life was tragically cut short in an accident caused by another driver failing to stop at a stop sign.
CK Day is our way of keeping Chance’s memory alive while giving back to future graduates. This special day serves as a fundraiser for the Chance Karnes "Cowboys & Quarterbacks" Memorial Scholarship Fund, supporting Herrin seniors as they prepare for the next chapter of their lives.
Let’s come together to celebrate Chance’s impact and ensure his legacy continues to inspire future generations. #CKDay #6 #LiveLikeTheresNoTomorrow #CowboysAndQuarterbacks #HerrinStrong
