Wildfire Relief: Texas Rallies for Palo Pinto County Firefighters

The State of Texas has certainly seen its fair share of wildfire damages already this year – and it’s only just July. With temperatures on the rise and dry and windy conditions expected for much of the state, the risk of fire is eminent.

As a way to honor those who have dedicated their lives and their time to battling the wicked flames, benefits and charity events are springing up across Texas. Recently, the Houston Chronicle shared an amazing event, set to take place this coming weekend:

Singers Pat Green and Lee Ann Womack will be headlining a benefit this Saturday which will honor and support the North Texas fire departments whose resources have since been depleted after the massive spring wildfires.

The Buckets and Boots event, will take place near the Palo Pinto County town of Graford, about 60 miles northwest of Fort Worth. Palo Pinto County is home to Possum Kingdom Lake, where earlier spring wildfires – spanning roughly 150,000 acres – devastated the popular recreation area. Nearly 160 homes were also destroyed by the flames.

The concert is meant to celebrate the firefighters as well as help raise money for the departments to buy new equipment and support the local economy. Tickets are $100 each. Admission for firefighters and police is free.

Want to know more? Visit the Buckets and Boots website to check out the concert lineup, view the event’s sponsors and learn more about Texas wildfire relief.

Katy Texas Cheer for Charity Showcase Raises $3,000

Earlier this week, high school cheerleaders, coaches and mascots joined together for the first-ever Katy ISD Cheer for Charity Showcase.

The event allowed for squads to join forces in an attempt to raise money for the Texas Children’s Hospital  West Campus – and they proves quite successful, raising just over $3,000 for playrooms at the facility.

Approximately 650 patrons attended the Katy TX event, which featured varsity and junior varsity cheerleading squads, representing each of the Katy ISD high schools. Each of the high school’s mascots also joined in on the fun, taking part in a combined performance.

“It was good to see the cheerleaders and mascots from all schools congratulating each other on their performances at the end of the evening,” Bob Bryant, Katy ISD Director of Fine Arts, told the Katy Times. “This is another example that shows that, though we have many schools here, Katy ISD is one community working together.”

During the planning and organization of the fundraising event, cheerleading coaches from all campuses created a list of popular charity choices, submitted by their squads, and voted on who would be the final recipient—the resulting choice being the Texas Children’s Hospital West Campus.

“I think it was perfect timing with the opening of the west campus,” stated Amy McConnell, psychology teacher and cheerleading coach at Taylor High School. “Plus, it’s great to see students doing something for the youth in this community.”

According to the Katy Times, a check presentation to Texas Children’s Hospital West Campus is scheduled for Monday, April 11.
