Hays Consolidated Independent School District

Join us on January 13th for a special night as we take on Liberty Hill in our first annual Hoops for ALS Basketball Game. This year’s event is especially meaningful as we honor one of our beloved counselors, Starr Cruz, who is courageously battling ALS. We’re aiming to raise $2,000 to donate directly to the ALS Foundation, and we need your help to reach it! If we could get 50 people to donate $10 each, that would give us a jumpstart on reaching our goal. Whatever amount you are able to donate will be greatly appreciated. 

Game Times:

• Freshman & JV: 5:30 PM

• Varsity: 7:00 PM

Please consider donating $10 to our Hawks page by clicking the link below or you can pay by Venmo (please put in the comments “HAWKS”).

Juana Nolasco Hortelano, 25, is currently in peritoneal dialysis for stage 5 end-stage kidney disease. Juana has been undergoing peritoneal dialysis for about a year and a half and is in dire need of a kidney transplant to survive. Despite these challenges, Juana remains hopeful—because she knows that a kidney could give her life back. A transplant would not just free her from the dialysis machine; it would restore her energy, independence, and ability to dream about the future again.
