Nobody cares about WMMA

[Roll The Dice]

Holly auctioned off several autographed photos for charity right after the honoring part of the program. An autographed photo of the kick heard around the world, fetched $8000. A different photo grabbed $7500 I think. Also, people were asked to bring food and clothing for local charities to distribute to those in need. Not sure, but I think Holly was behind that.

Holly's talk was mostly about the people who supported her throughout her life/career. She stated with honoring her parents, followed by her coaches, friends, brothers, husband etc, and she brought each of them on the stage to be with her. Lastly but not least she faced the fans and expressed her love, noting that without out fans there would be career.

Of course she blessed ABQ and NM.

The Governor, Mayor of Albuquerque Jackson-Wink and other dignitaries were present.

Forgot to add that Holly had an autograph session right after the formal program was over.
