The Texas Bucket List was recently awarded a 2018 Lone Star Emmy Award for its special on the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. The special was dedicated to those who were affected by one of the state’s most destructive storms and the state’s effort to help them rebuild. Money raised during the special benefited the Rebuild Texas Fund. There were three segments within the episode: The Devastation of Hurricane Harvey, Checking on a Few Friends After the Storm and Shorty’s Place Endures Hurricane Harvey.
The Texas Bucket List is honored to receive such a prestigious award for a special that raised awareness about the devastating affects of Hurricane Harvey and the emotional outpouring of support from our friends and neighbors.
