Provide a Ride!
During the 2016 Football Season, the Houston Chapter, along with thousands of other football officials from across the state of Texas, participated in a TASO Football Division initiative to donate a specialy equipped van to a deserving high school football player who had suffered a spinal cord injury while playing the game he loves. Working with the Gridiron Heroes Foundation, a brand new van was presented during last year's State Championship Game weekend in Dallas.
Efforts statewide raised $48,035.85, which along with discounts given by the van manufacturer was enough to purchase the vehichle. Locally, through raffles, individual contributions and a disubursement authrorized by the Board of Directors, over $10,000 came from the efforts of the Houston Chapter alone.
Thank you to all of our members and crews
which helped to reach the goal for this
worthy endeavor!
