Get ready to cheer on a true Cinderella team. THE MIGHTY MACS opened in theaters October 21st.
A brief synopsis of the movie:
She Dared to Dream. They Dared to Believe. It's 1971. Cathy Rush is a woman ahead of her time and she's about to embark on an adventure for the ages. Recently hired as the coach of tiny Immaculata College, Cathy's challenges are as imposing as the big-school teams her Macs will face. There is no gymnasium, no fan support and no money. To top it off, Cathy may not even have enough players for a team! While it appears the Macs don't have a prayer, all hope is not lost. With the help of Sister Sunday-a spunky assistant coach-and the support of a booster club of elderly nuns, Coach Rush creates a new game plan that just might bring the team-and the school-together. Will this pioneer buck cultural norms and spur her rag-tag team to unexpected heights? Or will her hard-driving ways create a wedge between the coach and everyone around her? One thing's for certain: there's never been anyone like Cathy Rush at Immaculata!
Here's what Patti Garibay says about THE MIGHTY MACS: "THE MIGHTY MACS is an inspiring movie that teaches the values of faith without limits, as well as perseverance and teamwork in a girl's life. I encourage our American Heritage Girls Troops to support this movie (on opening weekend) and enjoy a film that leaves you excited about the opportunities God presents to us daily. With Him all things are possible."
-Patti Garibay, American Heritage Girls Founder and Executive Director
