Colts Honored Two Brown County Women

Last updated on Monday, October 26, 2015

(INDIANAPOLIS) - If you watch this Sunday’s Indianapolis Colts game, you might of seen Allison Watters of Nashville on the field.

Watters has been named a Colts Anthem Angel for her work on the Brown County Glass Slipper Event, which provides free prom dresses and accessories.

According to the Brown County Democrat, Glass Slippers began in 2007 with three volunteers, 140 dresses, and has grown to include 150 volunteers and 2,400 dresses, serving 300 girls from all over the state.

It also includes volunteer stylists who show the girls how to do their hair and makeup, accessories, and recommendations for dress alterations.

Watters is the second Brown County woman to be chosen as a Colts Anthem Angel. Suzie Hedrick was recognized during the September 21 Colts-Jets game for her 15 years of work as a pediatric dialysis nurse at Riley Hospital for Children.

Hedrick was chosen for going "above and beyond her normal duties to plan a Kidney Camp for kids from 8-18 who are on dialysis, have a kidney disease, or have had a kidney transplant.

"Anthem Angels...Honoring Everyday Heroes" was established by the Indianapolis Colts and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield to pay tribute to Hoosier "First Respondents" who may have received little or no recognition for the strides they have made to help others in human-service related professions, a press release said.

"Angels" receive four VIP Club Seat Tickets to the game, a feature story in the Colts gameday magazine and on www.colts.com, as well as on-field recognition at the game.

Other nominations are being accepted for 2015 home games; see www.colts.com/anthemangels.
