Per a Spurs press release:
The San Antonio Spurs and San Antonio FC (SAFC) joined over 30 other sports organizations in Ingram to hold the “Sport for Healing Fest,” a day of joy and healing through sports for those impacted by the tragic flooding in July. More than 2,000 students and their families attended, supported by over 250 volunteers from the various sports organizations. The event offered local students and families from Ingram and surrounding school districts the chance to participate in free sports clinics, meet team mascots and cheer squads, access mental health counseling and more activities designed to offer an uplifting experience and bring the community closer together in their time of need.
Recently, the Spurs made a trip to Ingram to connect with the community and show support. The region suffered floods last July that took lives and made a long-term impact on the area.
The Spurs returned this week, and brought friends.
Students at Ingram Tom Moore School participated in a number of sports programs led by youth coaches from the Spurs, SAFC, Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, LOVB, San Antonio Brahmas, Texas Rangers, EL1 Sports and Dallas Stars.
Professional mental health services were also available for members of the community offering guidance in overcoming loss.
RC Buford, Spurs Sports & Entertainment CEO, who has visited multiple times since the tragedy, stated:
“The past months have been humbling to our organization as we’ve gone into the community and witnessed firsthand the lasting impact of a disaster like this. Our players, coaches and staff across our businesses have been touched by the community’s willingness to welcome us into their neighborhoods and homes with open arms and share their stories with us. While our hearts break for those affected, we hope there is some small comfort in knowing our organization is fully behind them, every step of the way, as they continue to restore and repair their community.”
The “Texas Sport for Healing Fund” is a collective of professional sports communities designed to provide long-term support for those directly affected by tragedy.
