Macey Davis, a heart transplant recipient from Winterville, and her family got free tickets to her first college football game, the Georgia - Florida game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Macey was born with a heart condition that required her to undergo major surgery just days after birth.

She has since received a life-saving heart transplant at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and now is an active youngster. In addition to cheering on the Bulldogs, she swims, plays soccer and loves animals.

Dunkin’ learned about her journey from Children’s and “wanted to make the weekend extra special.”
