EL PASO, Texas - The “Walden Family Challenge” is a smash success.

“Not only did we meet our goal, we exceeded it!” Coach Walden said. “Callie and I are so thankful for the generosity of everyone who made a donation. It just shows how dedicated Miner fans are to helping make this an elite program. We can’t do it without you. We’re going to build something special together, and this is just the beginning!”
