Texans Donate New Home to Marine Widow; Story Leads Coverage on FOX Sports Houston.com

This past Christmas, FOX Sports Houston was on hand to document and participate in a touching story at a recent Houston Texans game. The Texans surprised the widow and son of a U.S. Marine sergeant who died in December as a result of injuries sustained in combat in Iraq with a mortgage-free home.

The story and video of the event posted on foxsportshouston.com generated record traffic for the local website and was the most-viewed video among local FS websites in December.

It also contributed to a record traffic month for foxsportshouston.com in December.

FOX Sports Houston "Plays Green" With Astros

• Employee Volunteers Lend A Helping Hand To Build Energy-Efficient Habitat For Humanity Home With Astros

FOX Sports Houston joined forces with the Houston Astros last week to participate in the club’s Play Green environmental campaign.


Through its existing partnership with Houston Habitat for Humanity, FS Houston secured a day build for the Astros to kick off the team’s Play Green Week.


For the third consecutive year, FOX Sports Houston employee volunteers spent the day working side-by-side with members of the Astros front office staff and outfielder Hunter Pence to help build an energy-efficient Habitat for Humanity “green home” for a deserving Houston Family.
