We ask that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Holly’s Dance Marathon page (dmfsu.org, press “Donate now”, press “Donate to this event”, type in “Holly Cummins”, press “search” and her page will pop up where you can “Donate Now”).  This charity was very dear to Holly. It benefits Children’s Miracle Network. We would like to thank the Florida State University Football Department and the Alpha Phi Sorority for all their help during this time.
