Beat The Heat hosted a Motorsports Expo at the Kemah Boardwalk on November 17th to raise some money for the Advocacy Center for Children! We were so blessed to spend a near perfect Saturday with Lt. Tommy Hansen with Galveston County Sheriff’s Office and his Tropical Impression Racing Team as well as all the amazing men and women who participated in the Motorsports Expo fundraiser at Kemah Boardwalk. The event was an absolute success and all proceeds were donated to us! We are so grateful that we got to see these impressive vehicles and spend time with all the generous souls who chose to be a part of this! Thank you♥
Congratulations to Kevan Cram for placing #1 and Brian Gallagher for placing #2 and #3!
When it comes to organizations that serve children, do you know if there are policies in place that prevent an adult being alone with a child? Are background checks are conducted on all volunteers and employees? Are staff and volunteers trained on safety and how to report it?

Juliana Bozeman and Meredith Colelli and the other members of the PALS (Peer Assistance and Leadership) program of Clear Springs High School reminded us this morning that not all heroes wear capes. For Juliana’s service project, this group of remarkable people collected toys, clothes and stuffed animals,as well as a giftcard to Target! PALS are a group of high schoolers who mentor and spend time with elementary school kids who need a little extra love and support, they chose to do this, are interviewed and then are able to join this incredible group who are doing more than they could possibly ever know! We are so grateful for them!
