Austin, Texas — The Texas Council on Family Violence (TCFV) and the Round Rock Express baseball team teamed up today to get thousands of fans to Strike Out Against Domestic Violence.
“We thank the Round Rock Express for hosting the Texas Council on Family Violence,” said Gloria A. Terry, President of the Texas Council on Family Violence. “There is no greater threat to the fabric of our society than that of violence in the home. We are thrilled to partner with the team to get the message out to baseball fans,” said Terry.
The Texas Council on Family Violence shared an important message today at the ballpark to speak up and say violence is never acceptable. In a new statewide push, the Texas Council on Family Violence and domestic violence programs across Texas are working with many prominent men and sports figures to take a public stand against domestic violence. The Round Rock Express joins the Dallas Mayor, Dallas Cowboys Football star Jason Witten, former Dallas Cowboys Troy Aikman, Roger Staubach and Emmitt Smith.
We believe by working together we can make a difference in the lives of Texas families.
