            Former Sycamore high school athlete going to the Super Bowl?! Did we ever think we would hear those words? Former Sycamore High School football player, Ben Neiman, #8, will be going to Super Bowl LIV. He is now a player for the Kansas City Chiefs and everyone in Sycamore and the surrounding area will be rooting for him Super Bowl Sunday. Our community could not be more proud, especially here at Lizzy’s Pink Boutique. We are rooting for him and his whole team and hope he will be able to bring home the ultimate football title!

Lizzy’s own son, Bobby, played football for Sycamore High School as well. He ended up receiving offers from many schools including a few D1 walk on offers and is now playing college football for Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois, where he is majoring in business law. Not only was Bobby an all-star on the field, but an all-star helping Lizzy at her store. Who would have ever guessed that football and a boutique would have so much in common?

Here at Lizzy’s we love our community and we of course love our Sycamore High School football team! We are a local, family owned and operated boutique that supports our community, and who loves Sycamore High School football and all sports for that matter. We cannot wait to watch Ben on the field during the Super Bowl and we look forward to continue to support our local sports teams through the year as well.
