The Houston Rockets have teamed up with Texas and national professional sports organizations to form the Sport for Healing Fund, created to provide long-term support for the Uvalde community.
Following the deadly elementary school shooting in Uvalde, the fund is designed to provide long-term community support in Uvalde by creating and investing in trauma and healing-centered care for youth and families. For the project, the Rockets are joining the Dallas Mavericks, Dallas Stars, San Antonio Spurs, and the NBA in providing initial funding.
Efforts will be anchored around sports and building safe places, like community outdoor play areas, where young people can play and heal through on-the-ground mental wellness and counseling resources.
Spurs Sports & Entertainment (SS&E) is managing the fund in conjunction with San Antonio Area Foundation, which will distribute investments into the Uvalde community. Fans who would like to join the sports groups by contributing to the fund are invited to donate here.
