Kerrville Fire Department paramedic Michelle Prescott was overcome with emotion when the Spurs first approached her after the devastating July 4, 2025, floods that struck several Central Texas counties. “I remember them asking me what I needed,” she said. “At that point, I hadn't processed everything. I didn't know what we needed. I actually just started crying, and I couldn't even talk.” The Spurs’ patient, tender response and their efforts that followed helped comfort Prescott and many others in her struggling community.
The Spurs' commitment to foster healing was evident Friday on the defending Western Conference champions' Sport for Healing Night at the Frost Bank Center. The club distributed nearly 1,000 tickets to community members and first responders from areas affected by recent tragedies, including the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, the Central Texas floods, and the storms that plagued San Antonio in August.
The team's guests enjoyed a dinner at the arena’s Agave Club after they met with Spurs coach Mitch Johnson, who said he was “honored” to “share some space” with the first responders. “They are a big part of the backbone of our community,” Johnson said. “When we have our biggest times of need, they are the first people there to try to help us get through them. And so when you talk about acknowledgement and honoring, there's not enough we can do.”
Chris Hine: Spoke with Jabari Walker about his event promoting the 100 Black Men of Philadelphia and the importance of uplifting the Black community through business opportunities and mentorship: “It’s something that we could use to uplift each other, and we don’t share that message a lot.”
