Pleasant Plains has rescheduled its homecoming parade for Friday afternoon, after postponing it last weekend following the medical emergency that sent a Plains football player to the hospital.
The parade route has been altered to avoid disruptions on Route 125 during Friday afternoon traffic. The school district says it rescheduled the parade with the encouragement of Jayden Veesenmeyer’s family. He remains in the hospital after undergoing emergency surgery following his collapse at Saturday’s game. Meanwhile, hundreds of people turned out Tuesday night for a candlelight vigil in support of Jayden.
And a GoFundMe page has now collected more than $55,000 to help his family with the mounting medical expenses.
