        Partnering with a local graphic designer, Heath brought his idea to life with a set of 20 unique cards — all designed to raise funds for the club.
    
                  
                                                                
                  
                  
                                                                                                                                                                                        
                                            
                              
        Heath’s cards raised $3000 for the Gators.

        If you could give your younger self one piece of advice, what would it be?
