FRISCO, Texas – In response to the devastating flooding in Central Texas, 39 local and national professional sports organizations have joined efforts to launch the “Texas Sport for Healing Fund.” Starting today, fans can support relief efforts through a national online auction featuring over 150 pieces of rare sports memorabilia from more than 80 sports teams and players.
This fund will support both immediate relief efforts and long-term recovery for the communities directly impacted by the flooding. The auction will close on Friday, August 8 and all auction proceeds will support the Texas Sport for Healing Fund.
The following organizations, including representatives from multiple professional sports leagues in Texas, have come together to provide the initial funding:
Austin FC | Dallas Wings Community Foundation | Houston Texans | PBR Austin Gamblers |
Austin Marathon | El Paso Locomotive FC | Hunt Sports Group | PBR Texas Rattlers |
Austin Spurs | Faith Fight Finish Foundation | The Jordan Spieth Family Foundation | Round Rock Express |
Bryson DeChambeau Foundation | FC Dallas | Just Keep Livin’ Foundation | REV Entertainment |
Cleburne Railroaders | Frisco RoughRiders | LOVB Austin | San Antonio Spurs |
Circuit of The Americas | Houston Astros | LOVB Houston | Texas Legends |
Dallas Cowboys | Houston Dynamo | Meredith and Scottie Scheffler | Texas Rangers |
Dallas Mavericks | Houston Dash | NBA Foundation | Texas Stars |
Dallas Stars | Houston Rockets | NBA Players Association | The US Tennis Association |
Dallas Trinity FC | Houston SaberCats | Nolan Ryan Foundation |
“We are proud to partner with our friends across the state to raise money for those impacted by the tragic events in Central Texas,” Dallas Stars President/CEO Brad Alberts said. “We would also like to thank the numerous NHL clubs and team foundations for their generous donations for the auction. The Dallas Stars organization will continue to look for additional ways to provide resources and support to those affected over the coming months.”
This investment will better the lives of those affected by the flooding by providing long-term improvements such as access to mental health resources, community programming and the creation of safe places where young people can come together and heal from tragedy. Collectively, these teams have already contributed over $6.3 million to flood relief efforts to date, with funds supporting various organizations, including the Texas Sport for Healing Fund. Spurs Sports & Entertainment (SS&E) is managing the fund in conjunction with San Antonio Area Foundation (SAF). A panel of representatives from the founding teams will work collaboratively with SAF, alongside Central Texas community partners and local organizations on the ground, to routinely evaluate and identify additional recipients as needs evolve.
Fans who would like to join the Texas and national sports community by contributing to the fund are invited to donate here.
