Cowboys Home Run Derby Raises $50,000

Blog· Entertainment

This past month has been full of opportunities to watch the Dallas Cowboys give back to the community and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. Remember last month when I got to meet Jason Garrett at Taste of the NFL? Well, I got to meet up with him again but this time the Dallas Cowboys Home Run Derby. 

Dallas Cowboys Home run Derby 2014

On Wednesday, May 28th, some of our favorite Dallas Cowboys gathered at Globe Life Park for a night full of baseball and giving back to the community. The Dallas Cowboys players traded touchdowns for home runs in a Reliant-sponsored charity competition to benefit The Salvation Army Youth. Each ball hit out of the park earned $1,000, and each player will have 10 chances, with a home run earning an extra swing of the bat. The last pitch comes with the chance to send $2,000 sliding into home for the Gene and Jerry Jones Family North Texas Youth Education Town of The Salvation Army in Arlington.

Players that took a turn at bat with Coach Jason Garrett included DeMarco Murray, Doug Free, Barry Church, Jason Witten, Bruce Carter, Tyron Smith, Sean Lee, Dez Bryant, and Brandon Carr. Cowboys Rookies were in attendance lending a glove to shag balls and interacting acting with the Salvation Army Youth Education Town kids in attendance.

Cowboys Home Run Derby 2014

Texas Rangers Alumni, German Dunn, threw pitches to each one of the players one by one. The first round consisted of every player going up to bat and having the chance to hit the ball at least 10 times which that the minimum that could raise each round was $1000. Each player was competing against the rest to see who could raise the most money for The Salvation Army in Arlington. There were a large number of kids from the Salvation Army that got to sit in the stands and cheer for their favorite Dallas Cowboys Players. Once the first round was tallied up, only the players who raised the most money were able to go on to Round 2. The top two hitters from that round were Jason Witten and Barry Church. Church’s 10 hits raised $8,400 to Witten’s $8,300.

Cowboys Home Run Derby Reliant 2014

This is the third year Reliant has participated in this entertaining sports exchange to benefit a local community nonprofit organization. Last year, the event raised $43,000 for the Salvation Army organization and this year they raised $50,000! I love seeing The Dallas Cowboys paying it forward and giving back to the community. This wouldn’t have been possible without Reliant’s generous donation. I’m already looking forward to next year’s event and hopes that we raise even more money!

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to send a quick thank you for all the birthday love yesterday! Birthdays are not my favorite day but it was nice to hear from so many people. Here's to another year around the sun ❤
This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
