From the beginning, Houston Baptist University has been built by the support of visionaries who embraced the goal of offering a faith-based, exceptional education in the city we call home. More than ever, University partners are helping ensure students have access to an education which will launch them into their life callings; about 90 percent of HBU students receive financial aid.
On HBU鈥檚 Day of Giving, Friday, August 31, 2018, Randy Sorrels, 鈥�84, will match all donations to the University, up to $50,000. Donors are encouraged to give that day for maximum impact!
Now a managing partner of Abraham, Watkins, Nichols, Sorrels, Agosto & Aziz, as well as the President-Elect of the State Bar of Texas, Sorrels remembers his time as a defensive player on HBU鈥檚 fledging soccer team. 鈥淐oming in 1980, we didn鈥檛 win a single game. But in 1981, with an infusion of new players, we ended up with the best record in the nation,鈥� Sorrels said. 鈥淚 see that as a microcosm of what goes on in the University as people get involved. We succeed and grow as we participate and do what we can for the University.鈥�
Sorrels said he hopes alumni and friends of the University will jump all in for the Day of Giving. 鈥淎ugust 31, 2018 is a date that I look forward to. I hope the match encourages people to give, and I hope many people will be involved.鈥�
