The Run for Hope is being organized by 6 Stones in cooperation with the HEB ISD and the competing high schools Trinity (black) and LD Bell (blue). Proceeds will benefit 6 Stones’ initiatives to support HEB ISD students. Operation Back 2 School provides backpacks and school supplies to economically disadvantaged students in the HEB ISD.
