For the third year in a row, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and the Detroit Lions invited Michigan families to enter the #MIKidsCan Turkey Day VIP Sweepstakes. This year’s lucky winner was 10-year-old Hailey Reighard of Lake Orion. In addition to winning the sweepstakes, Hailey is being featured as our December #MIKidsCan Champion of the Month for her dedication to healthy habits.
As a devoted dancer, Hailey practices for an average of four hours a day, five days a week. When she isn’t dancing, Hailey enjoys swimming, playing basketball, tossing around the football in her backyard or walking her dogs.
