Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation Event and Field Day

October 5, 2017

On Wednesday, September 13th, students in our Dallas area just keep livin Foundation programs got to experience a special treat, thanks to our longtime partner, the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation. Teens from Eastern Hills High School in Ft. Worth, L.G. Pinkston High School in Dallas, and Sam Houston High School in Arlington were brought to the Rangers Youth Ballpark for an afternoon of fitness and fun, complete with relay races and hula hoop games. In addition, the kids got to meet just keep livin Foundation Founder Matthew McConaughey who talked to them about the importance of trying to infuse life’s more mundane tasks such as homework and chores with a sense of pleasure and fun, to make them more bearable! Congregating on the shaded bleachers to beat the Texas heat, the kids shared their favorite parts of the just keep livin program and had a great time getting to ask Matthew questions and even hear the story behind his famous phrase – “Alright Alright Alright.” The students were then brought over to Globe Life Park, where they watched the Rangers take on the Seattle Mariners. One very lucky JKL student, Samiya Momhamed-Fawzy who has been in the program 3 years, even got to throw out the first pitch in the game, with some on-field support from Matthew! Thanks so much to the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation for an amazing continued partnership and for always creating such special opportunities for our students!
