We sponsored Memorial Elementary  helping to make sure every student got a free tshirt for spirit days and field trip days.

Spirit Shirt Day = BEST DAY!

Today every single one of our Dragons received their 2025–2026 School Spirit shirt and to say they were excited is an understatement! Each class was thrilled to get their free shirt, and our teachers and staff are loving them too.

A HUGE thank you to Big Frog Custom T-Shirts & More for bringing our vision to life and to all of our incredible sponsors who made this possible. Your generosity means every student and staff member can proudly wear their shirt on spirit days, field trips, and school events all year long.

Together, we truly are empowering our future world changers!

We can’t wait to see our little Dragons wearing their shirts for Kindness Wednesday this week!

Kinder Parents – Kinder shirts will stay with teachers until after Thursday’s field trip so the whole class matches. Any parent-ordered shirts will go home today in your student’s backpack.

Extra & Parent Shirts – All additional or parent-purchased shirts are also going home today with students.

In September 2025,  we had the opportunity to assist two individuals that were involved in motor vehicle accidents that were not their fault. 

Joshua Balat was traveling in the Canyon Lake area when a car veered into his lane and hit him head on.  He was able to get out of his truck and tried to render aid the other people involved in the accident.  He owns a landscaping company and will be unable to work for six weeks as he recovers from hand surgery on his hand injury he received in the accident. 

RoundUp was able to support him with $2500 to help him get through the time he will be unable to work. 

Just a few days later, Autumn Duran, a much-loved friend of RU4C, was t-boned while delivering food to someone.  Her car was totaled in the accident.  Autumn teaches students that are learning to be commercial drivers.  The funding for her students was halted, so she was furloughed for a short period of time. RoundUp was able to gift her with $1850 to help her through this difficult time. 

It is our joy and honor to stand along side others when they go through difficult times.  We are very grateful for each of you that give generously so that we may help those with critical and unexpected needs. 

Thanks to everyone who helped our Kerrville Neighbors (August 2025)

This month we're spotlighting several members that went to Kerrville to support our neighbors in need.

Cassandra Massie...Gary Jack....Rebecca and Dave Pavlovsky...Matt Waterreus...Paula Tschoepe...Deborah Kluge...Roxanne Ware have all been to the area, some multiple times to help with the efforts in rebuilding there.  We are so very honored to have such loving and selfless members in RoundUp.  We love you all and are proud to work alongside you.  Truly the hands and feet of Jesus.  Thank you for all you do to spread God's love!!

With your great support, we raised over $7000 for flood victims.  RoundUp4Charity matched the first $5000.  This provided over $12000 to help flood victims in Kerrville and surrounding areas.  Thank you everyone!!

God is so very faithful and blesses us so richly.....His providence is truly perfect.   Our time in Kerrville today was such a blessing.... so many beautiful people God placed in our path.  We met Chris and Raini Locke with Nexgen resources... they have been working with their heavy equipment the last month with no pay.... to help restore this area... God's people for sure.   We have been able to help many in the area affected by the flooding.  We shared HEB gift cards and backpacks with familes... helped a precious lady Alejandra .. with money to purchase an RV to replace her home that was washed away.... as well as another precious lady Claudia who lost her home… several of our members worked with Mercy Chefs to provide meals...we provided silent auctions at Howdy's Restaurant to help them with rebuilding.... we were able to leave over 4 thousand dollars in the community this weekend alone.   Thank you to each one of you for your selfless giving and continued support.... we truly are His hands and feet.

Thank you to Cassandra Massie Gary Jack Deborah Kluge Paula Bass Tschoepe Russell Hansmann Rebecca Hilbert Pavlovsky    Dave Pavlovsky   Kat McDonald Matthew Waterreus for giving of yourselves... for being with us..... this will be a day we will not soon forget... precious memories.

Thanks to Thomas with Outlaw Graphix and Josie De la Rosa…the trailer has been wrapped and is a moving billboard for RoundUp!!  Josie and Thomas donated the time and materials to get the job done.  We are so very grateful for their generosity.  The trailer will be at most of our dances and can be seen around town!!  We are so excited to be able to share the news of RoundUp4Charity with so many.  Thank you, Josie and Thomas!!  We are so appreciative of our members and their commitment to further our mission.  Gene Foerster purchased the trailer for RoundUp several months ago.   We are grateful for such incredibly generous members. 

A Very Busy February for such a short month (2025)

Roundup has been busy the month of February!!  We held 9 events in this short month…4 game nights….and 5 community dances.  We kicked off our Historical Dance Hall Tour with the first stop at Luckenbach,Texas.  The temperature dipped quite low, and we had good attendance and everyone that joined in had a great time.  Be sure to follow us on our website or Facebook to keep up with all events.   Our secretary, Melissa Onks, also sends out weekly emails that will keep you informed!  If you haven’t received the emails ,please let us know so we can add you to the mailing list.  Email us at  roundup4charity@gmail.com

We’ve also been busy giving back to the community.  We assisted 2 families that have lost their homes to fire with financial support as well as furniture and appliances.  We donated to 5 of the youth showing livestock in the Comal County Youth Show. Provided groceries and supplies to 3 families in need.  Provided meals to the sick and shut-in among many other charitable works. 

If you are interested in organizing any opportunities to serve others, we need your help!

We currently need someone to organize and target those in our community and our membership that need meals due to illness or other circumstances.   We would love to extend our reach into the community and need you to help make that happen!  This isn’t something you would do on your own.  We are looking for many to coordinate and manage needs and requests.  The more people participate, the more we can help and support.  Think of it this way, 2 people coordinating, we can add one or two events.  20 people coordinating, we can add 30 to 40 events. We know we are surrounded by great people that have servants’ hearts.  Please come talk to us or send an email to us at roundup4charity@gmail.com.

Several of our members have experienced serious medical issues in the past couple of months and we are so grateful to report that they are all improving and back with us at game night or the dance floor!!

Please reach out to Russell or Kathleen if you are interested in starting something new or organizing an effort or event…. We are willing and ready to do more!
