On July 4, the Texas Hill Country was ravaged by deadly and destructive flooding in Kerr County and surrounding areas. Relief efforts began as quickly as safety allowed. From every corner, first responders reached out. Schreiner University opened up the Event Center as an emergency shelter. The Quiet Valley Ranch, home of the annual Kerrville Folk Festival, opened camping spots to those in need and staffed their kitchen to feed people in the immediate area.
Texas musicians from heavy hitters like George Strait and Robert Earl Keen to local scenes in every city have been putting together benefit shows.
And the San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets, and Dallas Mavericks joined forces to raise funds.
During the Las Vegas Summer League, the Spurs, Mavericks, and Rockets revealed the “Texas Strong” t-shirt featuring all three teams logos. It serves a united front of fellowship in supporting flood relief throughout the Texas Hill Country. The top two draft picks, Copper Flagg and Dylan Harper, helped in the reveal as the Spurs and Mavs met up during competition.
Shirts are $30 and all the funds go to relief efforts still taking place nearly a month after the tragic flooding began.
