Texas Legends News Release
FRISCO, TX - The Texas Legends will join with Baylor Scott & White Sports Performance Center at The Star to celebrate their second annual Bill Keaton night. On February 1st, the Legends and SPC will honor the late William "Bill" Alton Keaton, Founding CEO of Baylor Medical Center of Frisco, awarding the second Bill Keaton Memorial Scholarship.
The scholarship was launched last season at the center of the Legends' court, which was dedicated the "Bill Keaton Court".
"Bill was one of our biggest fans," said Dallas Mavericks President/General Manager and Legends Owner Donnie Nelson. "He was a member of our family and he supported us from day one, and it is a joy to continue to carry on his legacy with things that he loved- sports and helping others."
As the Legends host the Austin Spurs, the team will suit up in custom jerseys designed to spotlight the Bill Keaton Memorial Scholarship and include branding for the Baylor Scott & White SPC. Fans will be given opportunities throughout the night to donate and will learn how Frisco ISD seniors can apply for the scholarship. In addition, supporters can donate in advance of the game by visiting http://igfn.us/vf/KEATON or by texting KEATON to 71777 to donate through their mobile devices.
"This is my favorite part of sports and particularly our unique position in the industry," said Legends President/General Manager Malcolm Farmer. "We have the ability to celebrate someone who meant so much to all of us and so many in this community in a way that only we can do. Our Baylor/SPC family created this scholarship as a way of keeping Bill's legacy alive and we get to join with them in their endeavors, to raise funds and spread the word."
The second annual Bill Keaton Memorial Scholarship will be awarded in the Spring of 2020 to a deserving Frisco ISD senior to further their education.
The game will tip off at 7:30pm on Feb. 1st. For tickets or information call 214-469-0822 or visit www.TexLegends.com.
