In some of the same areas that were once reunification sites after the deadly Hill Country floods, professional sports teams organized a day of fun and mental health support for families.

Spurs Sports & Entertainment joined over 30 other teams to host ‘Sport for Healing Fest.’ The event at Ingram High School brought in more than 2,000 families to play sports and provide access to counselors.

“There’s very few things that are as powerful and unifying as the power of sport,” said Patricia Mejia, Chief Impact and Inclusion Officer for the Spurs.

It was one of the latest efforts by the Texas Sport for Healing Fund, established by teams across the state, to help those impacted by the July 4 floods.

“It was incredible to see everyone spread across the entire Ingram campus,” Mejia said.
