Texas Longhorns football players are giving back to the community ahead of Valentine’s Day by participating in the “Puppy Love” fundraiser, benefiting PAWS Shelter of Central Texas. The event will take place on Feb. 13 from noon to 3 p.m. at Victory Lap, a popular West Campus spot near the University of Texas.

Lailah Licon, volunteer event coordinator, said hosting the event in West Campus was a strategic choice to increase student engagement.

“As a UT student, I thought West Campus was the best place to host this because I’m trying to get more student awareness to get volunteers for the shelter,” Licon said. “The involvement of UT students has been crucial in making this event a success.” Licon, who works in marketing with UT and NFL players, said she saw the Texas football players as natural partners for the event.

For head coach Steve Sarkisian, community involvement is an extension of the team’s discipline and culture. The core of discipline on the field is discipline off the field — in the classroom, in community service, in the football complex.

“So if you want to be a disciplined football team when you take the field each weekend, you have to be disciplined when you are off the field. How are we in school? How are we in community service? All of it all adds up to that becomes your culture because that is who you are and that is how we go about every day life.”
