If you're tuning in to watch the Lions on Thanksgiving, be on the lookout for a lucky West Michigan boy.

WZZM-13 reports that 12- year-old Gavin DeVore from Middleville will be hitting the field with the Lions on Thursday for winning the Blue Cross Blue Shield My Kids Can Turkey Day Sweepstakes.

As part of his prize, Gavin gets to ride on the Blue Cross float in America’s Thanksgiving Parade. He'll deliver the commemorative game ball to Ford Field and get  to participate in both the national anthem and “fan tunnel” before the Lions take on the Vikings.

The contest honors kids who are active and living a healthy lifestyle. Gavin works hard to be active, participating in football, baseball, wrestling, and running 5Ks.
