Jack Hudgins Sr.

Memorial Track Fund

The family of Jack Hudgins Sr. has established the Jack Hudgins Sr. Memorial Track Fund to support the Kids, Inc. track program and help ensure children in our community have the opportunity to experience the lifelong benefits of sports.

For Jack, participation and enjoyment of sports began at an early age and became a foundation for a lifetime of healthy activity. Born in 1928, before Kids, Inc. was established, Jack grew up in Amarillo, where organized athletics did not begin until middle school. He took full advantage of every opportunity to play sports at Sam Houston and later at Amarillo High, where he participated in football and track.
