The weather was perfect for Legacy Christian Academy's Laps of Love event.
Students ran laps as part of a fundrasier Thursday afternoon.
In the past, the fundraiser benefitted the school, but this year, administrators decided to raise money for their newest neighbor: Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children.
LCA Headmaster Bill McGhee says they were inspired after their cheerleaders made a visit to patients at the hospital's main campus last fall.
"We were so moved by the visit and the experience," says McGhee.
He expects Laps of Love will raise tens of thousands of dollars for the hospital.
Scottish Rite says it relies on support from the communities it serves to be able to treat patients.
