Philanthropy: Our national philanthropy is supporting the fight against domestic violence. Annually, we host a fashion show called "Faith, Hope and Fashion" and each fall we kick off the intramural season with a 7-on-7 flag football tournament co-sponsored with the Texas Wranglers. Both of these unique events allow us to support our local SafePlace Center, a shelter for battered women, men and children.
