They can, however, continue reminding the city of 16,000 people that they’re not forgotten. The Spurs are planning what they’re calling a community impact event in Uvalde on Oct. 8; details are still being finalized, but it seems likely the entire team and Popovich will be making the 85-mile trip from San Antonio to the place where 21 people – 19 of them students… Source link

Former Raiders and MLB star Bo Jackson revealed this week that he had donated to help cover funeral costs for the victims of the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, earlier this year.
