FORT WORTH, Texas (July 25, 2025) – In response to the devastating flooding in Central Texas, 41 local and national professional sports organizations have joined efforts to launch the “Texas Sport for Healing Fund.” Starting today, fans can support relief efforts through a national online auction featuring over 150 pieces of rare sports memorabilia from more than 80 sports teams and players.
This fund will support both immediate relief efforts and long-term recovery for the communities directly impacted by the flooding. The auction will close on Friday, August 8 and all auction proceeds will support the Texas Sport for Healing Fund.
The following organizations, including representatives from multiple professional sports leagues in Texas, have come together to provide the initial funding:
