Quinn Family Foundation Celebrates Dierks High School’s T-Mobile 5G Friday Night Lights Victory

The Quinn Family Foundation is thrilled to celebrate Dierks High School’s selection as the winner of the T-Mobile 5G Friday Night Lights Contest. Witnessing the Dierks community—and supporters from across the nation—come together with such enthusiasm and pride for our hometown has been truly inspiring.

As lifelong Dierks Outlaw fans, we are deeply moved by the dedication, teamwork, and unwavering spirit shown by our friends, neighbors, and alumni. Their tireless efforts have created an opportunity that will benefit Dierks High School students for generations to come.

Some of Anthony Quinn’s fondest memories were made at Ayers Stadium, watching his sons, nephews, and local athletes play beneath the Friday night lights. To our family, Ayers Stadium represents far more than a football field—it’s a place where the community gathers to cheer, support, and celebrate our youth.

At the Quinn Family Foundation, we’ve always believed in the power of athletics to shape character. Sports build discipline, leadership, and teamwork—qualities that prepare students for success well beyond high school.

Inspired by the community’s passion and determination, the Quinn Family Foundation is proud to announce a $1,000 donation to the Dierks School System to help enhance this exciting opportunity. We hope our contribution encourages others to join in this effort—transforming Ayers Stadium into more than just a field of play, but a lasting legacy that echoes through the lives of Dierks students for years to come.

Based in Dierks, Arkansas, the Quinn Family Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering high school students through scholarships in vocational and agricultural fields. The foundation also works to expand access to educational programs that help young people learn, grow, and prepare for bright, successful futures.
