The goal of the fundraiser is to support FISD children and families in need during the holiday season by providing gifts for children, according to a Nov. 7 news release from the district.
The overview
This year, FISDCares teamed up with The Stable, Friendswood High School’s student-run merchandise business, to launch a special collection of Christmas-themed Mustang apparel, the news release reads.
FHS design students, who operate The Stable, have created this holiday line to raise funds for the project.
FISDCares is a project of non-profit organization The Alliance for Youth & Families, and works closely with campus counselors who make family referrals, the news release reads.
The Alliance for Youth & Families offers support to students and families to “build a healthier community.” The organization provides alcohol- and drug-free activities for children and educates on substance use prevention, according to the organization’s website.

All donations are tax-deductible, with all proceeds going to the fundraising project, per the news release.
