Cleburne, TX/Dallas, TX – The Texas Outlaws, part of the Major Arena Soccer League, is actively expanding its presence and impacting communities across Texas through engaging community events.
On February 20, a group of six Texas Outlaws players and five front office staff visited Upbring Head Start in Cleburne, Texas. This initiative is part of the team’s ongoing commitment to community development and connecting with the youngest members of Texas communities. The players brought Tehuacán Mineral Water to hydrate the children and engaged in spirited soccer activities, creating lasting memories for the enthusiastic kids. Wendy Kauffman, regional director of Head Start South Fort Worth, expressed the profound impact the players had on the children, stating, “To these kids, the players are their heroes.”
Continuing their community outreach, four Texas Outlaws players visited the Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital in Dallas on February 22. In alignment with their team culture of giving back, the players engaged with young patients, their families, and hospital staff, bringing joy and excitement to the atmosphere. The players participated in games, soccer skills, and uplifting conversations, providing a memorable experience for all involved.
Brad Namdar emphasized the significance of this outreach, stating, “Having the opportunity to partner up with Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital, ensuring our program contributed to their endeavors in helping children across Texas, and having our players interact with the children was a highlight for us this year, and we look forward to continuing that relationship.”
“It’s a true pleasure to see our patients have the opportunity to spend time with the players and even get the chance to kick around a soccer ball with them,” says Robert L. Walker, President, and CEO of Scottish Rite for Children. “These moments mean a lot to the children receiving treatment at Scottish Rite, and we’re grateful to the Outlaws for stopping by.”
The Texas Outlaws express gratitude to Upbring Head Start and Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital for opening their doors and facilitating these meaningful interactions. The organization remains dedicated to making a positive impact not only on the soccer field but also within the communities they serve, demonstrating that their commitment goes beyond the game, enriching the lives of those they reach.
