“On August 27, I set out with a goal of raising $200,000 for Hurricane Harvey relief efforts. In the three weeks that followed – thanks to the unprecedented support and generosity of over 200,000 donors from across the country and around the world – we raised over $37 million. With such incredible support like this comes tremendous responsibility. I have spent the greater part of the last month and a half doing my due diligence and meeting with and speaking to as many resources as possible. While I understand the total recovery from Hurricane Harvey could require upwards of $200 billion, and this $37 million will not be able to help every single person as I so badly wish it could, I have made it my mission to ensure this money makes as large of an impact as possible.”
Thank you for the tremendous support of the Houston Flood Relief Fundraiser we had. With the funding distributed to the four organizations that we have partnered with we know that it will impact those that need it the most. While we are receiving updates and photos from the four organizations, our team has returned now their focus to our After School Athletic mission. Thank you for your support for the Houston Flood Relief and the ongoing support of the After School Athletics Mission. Dream Big, Work Hard!
