Freer HS doesn't have many famous alumni. This is a big deal for their community and a super reasonable ask to get a whole bunch of students there and back. 

Please consider donating a quick 5 bucks to this.

Hell yeah, those sorts of trips were the highlight of marching band in highschool! Kicked em ten tree fiddies

[Scheiss Meister 8,308]

I'm in, although I feel a little bad sending them to Ohio.

[HRSchenker 2,215]

I'll cover their lunch at the Dairy Palace. No trip to Canton is complete without a catfish burger. 

[gofuckyourself 8,057]

Their hand gesture is too close to Tech's, so that's a no from me dawg.

Kidding. Donated.

School/organization trips are awesome.

This will be a ridiculously great memory for them.

I shared the link on the band nerd website.

[RPM 26,090]

I'm a band nerd. They will never forget this gig. Kicked in a few shekels and shared the link.

[CycleTex87 2,944]

Do it!

[SquishMitten 10,370]

Slacked on the text from earlier, but in now! Good cause, y’all. This is part of the reason why we started Heart/TOF!

What is this? Sounds interesting. If I go to canton that has to be my goal. It’s not a pass through town on any trip.

[DalTxHornFan 3,070]

In.  Loved me some Bam Bam!

[pyrohornIII 4,756]

I wonder what the cutoff date is they have to raise this by.  What a thrill to go and represent small town South Texas!

You would think some corporate sponsors would help out.

 

 

[NeverMarryAStripper 21,765]

I watched the moon landing from Freer so this hits close to home

[StassneyHorn 6,429]

Please donate. Some band kid is gonna get pussy for the first time on this trip 2 years before your kid does.

[InkaUtexas 24,932]

Done.

I've been here. I was in Canton for work and some locals brought me here for lunch. I remember one guy ordered some insane bacon cheese burger with all of the overhanging bacon dripping grease. Our table was covered in greasy burgers, fries, onion rings, and  milk shakes.

I was going through a cutting phase at the time so I sat in the middle of that feast with a salad and water. I didn't care about the food but someone had a malt that was calling my name.

Looks like a local Welder already did.  This is Freer, not Austin.  They got welders, O&G service companies, trucking and local feed store.  what else?

Done. This is the kind of shit I can get behind! lol!

 

Out!

[Mack Tripper 691]

Done

[RPM 26,090]

Almost halfway to the goal. Let's go Surly!

[Al Czervik 1,205]

Had a kick ass burgers at the Liberty Cafe and killed my first and second bucks that were bigger than spikes around Freer so this hits close to home. I’m in!!!!

[Al Czervik 1,205]

Bumping 

[ROFL BOX 6,622]

Nearly 1/2 way there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[ROFL BOX 6,622]

Done again.

 

[landman 555]

I'm getting this in front of some Texas money folks this week.  Hoping to see a big bump by end of week.  This needs to happen.

[landman 555]

Sent this to the athletic department as well to see if they can help circulate.  Donated $500 and willing to do another $500 if Surly posters can come collectively make $1500 in donations by end of day Thursday, starting now.

[927 E. 41st 1,123]

Doesn't seem like that much to get these kids to Canton and help honor a Longhorn great, yet it appears stalled short of halfway. 

[Bevo&Pevo 4,923]

I forgot to post from last weekend.  I told Dad about the Freer HS band trying to get to Canton for Steve Mc.  He said he would stop at the Liberty Cafe for a take home meal and drop in some cash.  The cafe staff told him the time for donations was over and they had met their goal.    Congratulations to all interested parties.  Hook 'Em.

[pyrohornIII 4,756]

That is great to hear.  Must have had some local money come in, since the gofundme was basically stalled.  I hope we get to see some footage of them there

 

[Bullneck 18,691]

Done.
