About Us Houston Texans Partnership

Tackle the STAAR is an educational assembly program that teaches 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students how to prepare for the STAAR Test, but there's one problem: TORO is afraid of the word "Test" and this time of the school year has him very worried. Through the program, TORO learns that tests are nothing to be afraid of when you properly prepare just like the Houston Texans prepare for a football game. 

Through its support of YMCA Flag Football, Texas Children's helps provide youth ages 4–15 with access to safe, engaging opportunities to stay active, build character, and learn the value of teamwork. As one of the largest youth sports programs in the region, YMCA Flag Football introduces young athletes to the game in a fun and inclusive setting while reinforcing Texas Children's commitment to the health and well-being of children and families throughout the community. 

Each fall, Houston Texans rookies visit Texas Children's to celebrate Halloween with patients and their families. From handing out treats and participating in holiday-themed activities to spending one-on-one time with patients, the visit brings Texans spirit to children who are spending the holiday in the hospital. The annual tradition gives rookies an opportunity to connect with the community while helping create special memories for patients and families at Texas Children's.

Kids Day, presented by Texas Children's, celebrates young Texans fans with a gameday experience designed just for families. From kid-friendly activations and entertainment to special giveaways and memorable in-stadium moments, Kids Day highlights the partnership's shared commitment to creating fun, engaging experiences for kids and families. The annual game provides an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the next generation of Texans fans while reinforcing Texas Children's dedication to the health and well-being of youth across the Houston community.
