Each year since 2012, The Big Sting organization holds an event during a selected game to honor those in the community who are battling cancer. Gatesville athletes wear jerseys with the names of those in the community who have lost their lives to cancer or who are currently battling cancer. “STING” stands for Supporting Those IN Gatesville, which the organization has continued to do for over 12 years. The Big Sting organization is comprised of various board members, and everything is done on a volunteer basis. The organization has several churches, businesses, and community members that make monthly donations to The Big Sting organization. The proceeds are given back to members of the Gatesville community who have been diagnosed with cancer and are requesting help. The Big Sting’s mission is to make an effort to provide immediate support for practical needs to members of the Gatesville community who are currently battling cancer.
