Every fall for the past 15 years, UT students have descended upon the city of Austin in remembrance of one man's dream. The City Wide Hold Up for Easter Seals of Central Texas is held every year in dedication to Marence Daniel (MD) Anderson, who sadly lost his life on June 5th, 1998. He was the son of Daniel and Barbara Anderson, brother to Danielle Anderson and a Wrangler from the Maverick class of Fall 1996.
The Texas Wranglers have always shared a special bond with Easter Seals, but this was especially true for MD Anderson. He was best known for his outstanding enthusiasm, his passion for service and for giving his heart at each volunteer opportunity. Before his passing, MD envisioned a campus wide service event that would reach the entire City of Austin in support of Easter Seals. His dream would later come to fruition through the Maverick Class of Fall 1996 and the Texas Wranglers organization. On November 21st, 1998 the first City Wide Hold Up was born.
Now fifteen years later, with the help of over 7500 volunteers, the City Wide Hold Up has raised over $400,000 for Easter Seals of Central Texas. Thank you MD for your vision, friendship and service.
