HOUSTON – Houston Athletics will host a Disaster Relief Drive Thursday and Friday to assist with the ongoing recovery efforts in Kerr County in the aftermath of the flooding that struck the area over the Fourth of July weekend.
"The catastrophic events in Central Texas over the Fourth of July weekend are a reminder to all of us of the preciousness of life and the power of community," Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Eddie Nuñez said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the families, loved ones and friends of those lost, as well as with the people of Kerr County and beyond impacted by the floods.
Houston Athletics is strong because of our community, and we want to do all that we can to lift up our fellow Texans. All of our sports programs, coaches, staff and student-athletes are coming together in this endeavor to do what we can to support those in need. I urge all of Cougar Nation to do your part in lifting up our neighbors."
