Ornella Price is a proud mom to her son Dayton Price.  He is a talented athlete and accomplished academic student who was faced with a tragedy, loss of his golf teammates, burn injury and emotional distress at the age of 19.  He was attending the University of the Southwest in Hobbs NM on a golf scholarship and met a great team of players that he considered to be his second family.  A deadly crash occurred on March 15th, 2022, killing 7 of his teammates and his coach. Dayton Price and Hayden Underhill were the two sole survivors. Dayton sustained 3rd and 4th degree burn injuries to over 44% of his body.  He was hospitalized at The University Medical Centre Hospital in the ICU Burn Unit in Lubbock Texas for 3 months.  Ornella, her husband Darren and daughter Noella, remained by Dayton’s side the entire duration and prayed for his survival daily.  Ornella’s life today is filled with gratitude, courage, strength, mental awareness and a healthy recovery for Dayton.  She works with patients and families who are dealing with burn injuries, attends many group therapy sessions with burn victims and continues to support Dayton in his ongoing road to recovery.

Ornella has been an accomplished brand ambassador in the hospitality industry and has won many awards for her sales and marketing achievements.  Most excited to share a highlight in her career was the pleasure of working with movie production companies, and great actors such as Bradley Cooper, Willem Dafoe and award-winning Director Guillermo del Toro. 

The Price Family has founded a not-for-profit organization called, “Price Strong”.  They help raise funds through initiatives such as the Price Strong Charity Golf Tournament held every year in support of the Ronald McDonald House Charities.
