Texas League Announces Hill Country Fundraising Program To Aid Kerr County Flood Relief Efforts

TEXAS LEAGUE ANNOUNCES HILL COUNTRY FUNDRAISING PROGRAM TO AID KERR COUNTY FLOOD RELIEF EFFORTS

Texas League Clubs To Participate In Jersey Auction To Support Impacted South Texas Communities

Amarillo, Texas – The Texas League today announced an allied effort amongst the league’s 10 clubs to raise funds to support the Ingram Little League in Ingram, Texas, and to help rebuild local fields and programs in Kerr County, Texas, that were devastated by the floods.

With support from Major League Baseball, Minor League Baseball, Houston Astros, Texas Rangers and the Nolan Ryan Foundation, the Texas League clubs have partnered to participate in a unified fundraising auction to help restore the Hill Country community.

The teams will conduct several fundraising campaigns over the following weeks, including in-stadium auctions of game used jerseys, online auctions of game used jerseys, donations of the 50/50 raffle prizes, a t-shirt sales campaign and in some markets, firefighters will be passing the boot to collect cash donations. 

Immediately following the game in which each team wears the one-of-a-kind collectible jersey, all players and coaches will sign their game worn jersey to be auctioned off either that night in-stadium by live auction, or online with bids being accepted starting that evening.

“We were heartbroken to hear the news of the tragedy that occurred in Kerr County and our thoughts have been with all those affected by the disaster ever since,” said Amarillo Sod Poodles President and General Manager, Tony Ensor. “As stewards of our community here in the Panhandle, we wanted to find a way to support our neighbors and fellow Texans. As an industry and a baseball family, a collective that includes our fans, partners, communities and teams, we have the opportunity in the Texas League to make a positive difference and we hope our efforts in this unified, league-wide jersey auction will have that effect.”
