Matt Hobby Classic raises $29K for childhood cancer research

Update: Matt Hobby Classic raises $29K for Rally Foundation

We got a lot of interest in last week’s post about the Matt Hobby Classic, the Pope High School football fundraiser to honor a late Greyhounds player and benefit pediatric cancer research.

Volunteer Jennifer Dunaway tells us that more than $29,000 was raised from sales from the special T-shirt (a new one is designed each year) for the Rally Foundation.

The check shows $23K, but she said an additional $6 was raised after that. Since the Matt Hobby Classic began, more than $400,000 has been raised for the Rally Foundation.

The co-chairs for the event this year are Rylee Johnson and Lisa Aldridge.

And to top off the evening, the Pope football team defeated Sprayberry to run its record this season to 2-2.
