Several players adopted a child from the Salvation Army Angel Tree to shop for and bring gifts to. We are working hard to give back to the community and spread the message of love in 2010.
Several Scorpion players helped a local church in Abilene collect shoebox gifts to take to a sister church in Acuna, Mexico in 2010. The shoeboxes contained many items for families and some toys for children as well. This is another great way to give back and spread the love of Christ!
On October 5th, 2010, the West Texas Scorpions volunteered to help at the Solid Rock Church to run the dunk tank at their fall festival. It was a success. Fans from all over came to dunk their favorite, or least favorite, scorpion player. Lots of fun and kids were happy.
