Two non-profit organizations are this year\u2019s recipients of a donation given by Los Fresnos Rodeo Committee.<\/p>\n

The American Red Cross and the Salvation Army each received a check for $2,500 during a meeting held April 17 at the Lions Club here.<\/p>\n

The money came from revenues generated during the 29th annual rodeo held Feb. 16-18.<\/p>\n

Mike Todd, the committee president, said the donation is part of one of their goals to give back to the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are supporting the Red Cross and the Salvation Army this time,\u201d he said, \u201cby presenting these two checks for $2,500.\u201d<\/p>\n

Danella Hughes, executive director with the American Red Cross, thanked the Rodeo Committee for the donation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe money will go to the Red Cross hurricane relief fund,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s a necessary donation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hughes said people are still recovering from the effects of Hurricane Harvey, the first major tropical storm to make a landfall on parts of the Texas middle coast last August.<\/p>\n

Todd said the committee donated more than $20,000 last year in scholarships and to several organizations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe like to give back to the community,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got some expenses but made enough to pay our bills and to the make some improvements, too.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
