Proceeds from the event generated $803.50 and were donated to the following charities:

• Captain Hope’s Kids – Provides diapers, formula, hygiene items, educational materials and other necessary items to homeless children in more than 50 metroplex shelters.
• Humane Society of North Texas – Provides for the well-being of abandoned, injured, mistreated and needy animals.

College and Texas A&M Health Science Center totals from the two-month-long campaign will be shared as they become available.
