The Lone Star Mustangs will partner with the Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District though the district’s Adopt-A-School program.

(Dfwsportswire) Bedford, TX – The Lone Star Mustangs women’s full-contact, tackle football team is proud to announce that they will be partnering with the Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District (HEB I.S..D.) through the end of their 2010 Spring season. 

The HEB I.S.D. educates over 20,000 students per year in 19 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, and 2 high schools.  This partnership has been made possible through the Adopt-A-School program. The mission of the Adopt-A-School program “is to create school and community partnerships that positively impact student achievement” according to the Adopt-A-School web site. The Lone Star Mustangs have chosen to adopt the entire school district instead of one single school.  

LynMarie Liberty-Ellington, owner of the Lone Star Mustangs stated “This partnership means a lot to the Lone Star Mustangs. Our goal is to promote women’s football in the community and to give back to the community. The Adopt-A-School program allows us to contribute to the school system and benefit the physical education of area young people.”

All funding provided by the Mustangs to the school district will be placed in a fund in support of the physical education departments. School administrators and teachers will have the ability to access these funds to purchase special equipment and fulfill needs that otherwise would not be funded through the schools via grant requests.

The Lone Star Mustangs are a women’s full-contact, tackle football team representing the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex in the Women’s Football Alliance (WFA). The Lone Star Mustangs home games are played at Pennington Field in Bedford, TX on Saturdays from April thru June.
