See how your support has provided opportunities for Texas student-athletes to partake in international service trips.
This summer, Texas Athletics is providing Longhorn student-athletes the opportunity to join 4EVER TEXAS on two international trips: One to Lisbon and Porto, Portugal in partnership with Global Sports & Events and one to Oaxaca, Mexico in partnership with Courts for Kids. Thanks to your support, these international trips have become a cherished summer tradition for Texas Athletics—empowering our student-athletes to experience new cultures and make a meaningful impact around the world.
Last summer, 4EVER TEXAS' outreach efforts were highlighted by service trips to Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic in coordination with Courts for Kids. During their time abroad, Longhorn student-athletes worked alongside local communities in building all-purpose recreational courts, providing a safe and sustainable space for sports and connection. What starts here truly does change the world, and this transformative experience has made a lasting impact in the lives of Costa Ricans, Dominicans, and Texas student-athletes.
