Multiple Texas sports franchises and athletes are joining forces to help Hill Country flooding victims.
Teams across the Dallas area announced Friday that they were helping launch the “Texas Sport for Healing Fund.” The fund was created to provide immediate and long-term relief for Central Texas communities impacted by devastating flooding in July.
A national online auction opened Friday, where fans can support relief efforts by bidding on pieces of rare sports memorabilia from over 80 sports teams and players. The auction has items like an autographed football from Cowboys QB Dak Prescott, a Texas Rangers VIP game experience and more.
Here’s a look at the full list of Texas sports teams, athletes and organizations that are coming together to provide initial funding for the campaign:
