See Houston high school athletes and Gridiron Legends collaborate on a charity project at DePelchin Children's Center.
In an inspiring display of community service, Houston area high school athletes teamed up with Houston Gridiron Legends for a charitable effort at the DePelchin Children's Center. This event, part of the Texas Bowl Day of Caring, saw over 100 volunteers, including students and sports icons like Super Bowl champion Wade Phillips, enhance the center by planting gardens, power washing, and beautifying the grounds. The DePelchin Center, established in 1892, focuses on fostering and adoption services, providing a crucial support system for children and families across Texas. The involvement of these young athletes not only enhances the center but also strengthens community bonds and fosters a spirit of giving.
