FRESNO, Calif. – Each football season, Valley Children’s Healthcare teams up with Fresno State for a once-in-a-lifetime experience for patients. At every home football game, one Valley Children’s patient is selected to be the Kid Captain of the game.
At the Bulldogs’ matchup against Wyoming on November 15, 10-year-old Carter will be part of the coin toss and on-field festivities.
Carter receives care from the specialists in the Diabetes and Endocrinology Department at Valley Children’s. He loves playing sports, especially football and baseball.



Carter’s favorite animal is, fittingly, a bulldog – and he’s excited to experience his very first Bulldog football game this weekend.
You can cheer on Carter and the ‘Dogs at Valley Children’s Stadium on November 15 at 7:30 p.m.
