Makin’ a List & Checkin’ it Twice

By TXRD Newsroom December 23, 2014

The holiday season – it’s a season for giving, being thoughtful, and selflessness. It’s a season to remember others and include everyone in on the joy. It’s a time for friends and family.
 
Our friends at SafePlace know all about giving and selflessness. Last year, Safe Place provided emergency shelter, counseling, legal advocacy, and other direct services to 5,499 of Austin’s citizens. We at TXRD admire this and wanted to give back.
 
This year we held our 3rd annual toy drive, and this year all of the toys we collected went to SafePlace. Our derby family collected 177 toys for the kids at Safe Place. You know us; we can’t just have a toy drive. We had to make it a competition! Our fabulous felines, the Hellcats, won this year bringing in the most toys among the teams. They now reign over the Holy Rollers who held the win last year.
 
The toys were dropped off on Saturday, the Hellcats have a year of toy-tastic-ness, and we wish everyone at Safe Place – and all of you – a very happy Holiday Season.
