Fundraising Challenge to Protect Texas Youth From Injury at Gala


Double your impact by helping to secure a $10,500 matching grant at BLAST OFF!


The Make-A-Difference drive, a quick- paced fundraising effort, aims to match up to $10,500 in contributions for TMA’s Hard Hats for Little Heads program. This is the sixth year a TMA and TMAA member donor couple has offered the generous matching grant to inspire dozens of other donors to join them in teaching little Texans the value of prevention by wearing a helmet for all types of sports on wheels: bicycling, skateboarding, rollerblading, and riding a scooter. If you’ve registered your phone for mobile bidding you can participate this way or you can hold up the bidder number you will receive at gala registration to enter your gift.
