A Visit from Sparky
Muscle Up for Matthew Muscle Up for Matthew is held yearly to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association in honor of Matthew Silvas II, who was diagnosed when he was five years old. Matthew was expected to be in leg braces by 9 and wheelchair bound by 12, however, at 13, he is still beating the odds and needs neither. Due to poor weather conditions, the Muscle up for Matthew 5K was moved to the Coastal Bend College Track, where it initially
started. Despite potential rainfall, volunteers were plentiful as A.C. Jones High School, San Patricio Electric Co-Op and the college volunteered to help with the benefit. Last year, the Muscular Dystrophy Association had to cancel its big event because of a hurricane which makes smaller, localized benefits even more important. The $2,000-$3,000 donation from this run will be a big help in the fight.
The Beeville Fire Department visited the kiddos at Coastal Bend College’s Early Child Development Center, along with Sparky the Fire Dog. Thank you to Captain R. Delgado, LT. A. Lopez, and FF. Connie Flores for taking the time to visit! Congratulations on earning a Four Star achievement - Texas Rising Star and was visited by the Texas Department of Health and Human Services licensing department. Congratulations to Yolanda Mendez, Director of the Center and her staff for scoring 100%.
