Only available at participating DQ restaurants across Texas from September 30 through November 24, this mouthwatering creation is crafted to delight tastebuds.

The Jammin' Bacon Hungr-Buster takes Texas DQ restaurants’ iconic quarter-pound Hungr-Buster® and elevates it with a delectable combination of sweet and zesty flavors. The premium burger boasts a sweet and savory bacon jam, with crispy bacon and onion rings for an extra crunch, topped with a zesty jalapeño ranch to give it a spicy kick, plus a creamy, pepper jack cheese for a smooth finish.

“This is a burger built for Texans who crave bold flavors," said Lou Romanus, CEO of Texas Dairy Queen Operators’ Council. "The Jammin' Bacon Hungr-Buster delivers a tantalizing twist with its sweet and savory bacon jam creating a truly unique experience.”

This exceptional burger is set to become a go-to favorite for all burger lovers, combining bold flavors and enticing textures in every bite. Whether a fan of the classic Hungr-Buster or ready to try something new, the Jammin' Bacon Hungr-Buster is sure to satisfy.

Earlier this month, DQ® restaurants in Texas introduced an exclusive signature sauce. The DQ Texas Sauce joined the best cream gravy in the Lone Star state. The DQ Texas Sauce is a savory blend that perfectly complements Texas Country Foods’ fan-favorite steak fingers and chicken strips. The DQ Texas Sauce combines the zesty flavors of honey mustard and BBQ, resulting in a sweet and tangy combination with a delicate smoky undertone.

For more than 75 years, DQ restaurants in Texas have been friendly, gathering spots where fans enjoy delicious treats and eats and create fond memories.

Noah McGough’s Kicking for A Cause has already raised more than $12,000 to benefit Men of Nehemiah

 

Noah McGough, a senior at Jesuit Preparatory High School in Dallas and a kicker on the football team, has many eyes on him to play at the college level, but this season he is concentrating his efforts on giving back to his community.

McGough is bringing awareness to Men of Nehemiah, a faith-based, nine-month residential addiction recovery program in Dallas. During the 2024 football season, he is kicking for a cause and asking for the community’s support with donations and pledges. For every point he scores, the funds raised will go to scholarships and support counseling for the men’s families at Men of Nehemiah. The community can learn more or donate at menofnehemiah.org/kick.

“Two years ago, I participated in a Men of Nehemiah worship service," explained McGough. "I thought it was amazing how these men were praising Jesus, but I did not know their stories.  Now, I try and go every Tuesday night and Sunday morning. I absolutely love getting to worship with these men and learn from their testimonies. It is life changing!”

After three games this season, McGough has scored 15 total points (two field goals and nine extra points) for Jesuit Dallas. At $561 per point pledged so far, and $4,325 in onetime donations McGough has already raised $12,740.

McGough is not just kicking for the Men of Nehemiah. He is also investing his time with the men. “Every Tuesday night the Men of Nehemiah gather for All City Worship, a spirit-filled service that is powerful and transformative,” said McGough. “You must experience it to understand the power that’s present in that room. I can feel the love of God in and around these men.” 

All City Worship is open to the public. It is held from 6 p.m. – 7 p.m. every Tuesday at Men of Nehemiah, 2010 Al Lipscomb Way in Dallas.

“The men see God’s love through Noah and they respond to him,” said Jim Ramsey, Men of Nehemiah CEO, who had retired after a successful 30-year consulting career when he came to a worship service at Men of Nehemiah. He was drawn in to how he could help the organization be more successful. 

“We’re very thankful Noah is drawing attention to our program and raising much needed funds,” continued Ramsey. “But, more importantly, he’s demonstrating to our men that he really cares about them. Many of these men have long been estranged from their families. Some have been incarcerated. More than a few lived on the streets while some come to us from gated communities in affluent neighborhoods. Addiction respects no zip code.”

Jesuit Dallas’ next home football game will be Friday, September 27 against Irving High School at the Ranger Stadium on the Jesuit Dallas campus at 12345 Inwood Road. McGough says he will continue to ‘kick for a cause’ as long as Jesuit Dallas advances, including into the playoffs.

“God blessed me with the gift to kick a football, and kick it really accurately," continued McGough. "I want to use my gift to help others. But I am not alone out there on the field. My snapper, Phoenix Dericksweiler starts it all with a great snap. Our holder, Jaeger Krauss, must catch the ball and place it in just the right spot. Our entire line must block the attackers in order for me to be successful. We all need a team to win. I am grateful to be able to support the team at Men of Nehemiah. They are winning a second chance at Life.” 

In 2023, McGough was recognized as one of the best kickers in the nation. He was the top kicker in Texas, making 17 out of 21 field goal attempts, and ranked number six in the United States. His achievements include being named to the Texas Sports Writers Association's Class 6A All-State First Team Kicker and Player of the Year for All District 7-6A Special Teams. He finished last season scoring 96 total points for Jesuit Dallas.

Men of Nehemiah is a unique program that combines Biblical discipleship with professional counseling and military discipline to restore lives that have been derailed by drug and alcohol addiction. The objective is to help each man become the person God intended him to be and reunite him with his loved ones and community. 

In 1994, Pastor Louis Harrell, a former US Army Colonel, founded Men of Nehemiah in New Orleans to deliver his wayward son, Louis Harrell, Jr., from the grip of addiction. Louis Jr. relocated to North Texas, where he launched Men of Nehemiah in South Dallas with the help of Roger McCasland, President and CEO of Operation Relief Center.

Today, Men of Nehemiah has helped more than 1,500 men find paths to recovery. Research compiled in 2022 affirmed that 61% of men who graduated from Men of Nehemiah prior to 2020 stayed sober for at least two years. More information is available at menofnehemiah.org.

In a celebration of art, sports, and Texas pride, Brad Oldham Sculpture and the Texas Rangers announced a unique collaboration marking the 25th anniversary of Brad Oldham Sculpture with the ultimate Texas Rangers fan and art enthusiast in mind. 

The centerpiece of this collaboration is a limited-edition sculpture titled Baseball Forever, a lost-wax cast bronze baseball sculpture. Only 25 editions of Baseball Forever have been created and each has beenhidden across 25 locations throughout Dallas-Fort Worth, encouraging Rangers fans and art lovers alike to discover this special treasure.

Created by artists Brad Oldham and Christy Coltrin, Baseball Forever is a lasting testament to the deep connection between the Texas Rangers, Texas artists, the sport of baseball, and the Lone Star state. More than a work of art, it is an instant heirloom destined to be cherished for generations to come.

“We all have those moments in life that shape who we are, and for me, sports have always been a big part of that journey,” said Brad Oldham. “To have the opportunity to celebrate 25 years of creating public art and to collaborate with the Texas Rangers, a team who just reached the pinnacle of success as World Series champions, feels like my two worlds coming together in the most meaningful way. I hope Baseball Forever resonates with fans as a symbol of the unity and passion that both art and sports inspire."

Nestled inside Baseball Forever is a petite edition of Brad Oldham Sculpture’s The Traveling Man, the iconic 41-foot-tall Texas figure, reimagined in bronze. The smaller sculpture, aptly named Where Champions Live, honors the Texas Rangers’ recent World Series victory. The sculpture shows The Traveling Man proudly standing on home plate, wearing a Rangers cap and a baseball in his heart, a powerful symbol of the team’s championship legacy.

“The Texas Rangers are proud to support Texas-based artists such as Brad Oldham and Christy Coltrin, whose work reflects the spirit and culture of our state,” said Travis Dillon, Senior Vice President, Texas Rangers. “Collaborating with Brad Oldham Sculpture on Baseball Forever allows us to celebrate our history while providing our fans with a unique and memorable way to engage with the team." 

In a nod to the Texas Rangers’ City Connect uniform, visual elements on Baseball Forever pay homage to the team’s origin story and how Arlington bridged the two cities of Dallas and Fort Worth through baseball, paving the way for the Rangers’ legacy. This origin story reflects the role of the Texas Rangers in connecting communities.

The sculptures have been hidden in locations across Dallas-Fort Worth area, waiting for fans and collectors to embark on the ultimate hunt to claim their piece of Texas history. Fans who would like to receive a clue as to where the sculptures have been hidden, they can visit rangers.com/baseballforever. Upon registering on the site, fans will receive a map showing areas where the sculptures have been hidden. Once discovered, the sculpture belongs to the fan and the new owner is invited to share the location of their discovery on the rangers.com/baseballforever page.

“Baseball Forever stands as a symbol of the shared passion for community, creativity, and the spirit of baseball that unites people across Texas,” said Christy Coltrin, artist and CEO of Brad Oldham Sculpture. “This collaboration celebrates not only our respective milestones but also the enduring connections between art, sports, and the community. We hope these 25 sculptures bring joy and a sense of discovery to those who are lucky enough to find one." 

Brad Oldham and Christy Coltrin have been creating monumental sculptures for over two decades. Based in downtown Dallas, their studio has become a hub for artistic collaboration, creating site-specific artworks that bring people together.

Dallas technician Adrian Ortiz recently won first place in the Paint Competition at the Auto Body Association of Texas (ABAT) BIG SHOTS Competition at the Irving Convention Center. 

“The best part was I got to try new products and learn new things,” said Ortiz. “These are things I can apply daily in my job. The biggest opportunity was being trusted to step into the booth to show what I had learned over the course of my career thus far.”

Ortiz has worked for Park Place Bodywerks for 18 years. He is a certified painter for Bentley, McLaren, and Mercedes-Benz automobiles. 

“It is a great honor that our Members can publicly show their strengths and represent Park Place in such a good light,” said Brandon Gillespy, Bodywerks Dallas Shop Manager. “We celebrate their accomplishments and value their commitment to excellence.”

In his free time, Ortiz is restoring his high school car: a 1962 Chevy Nova.

When asked what advice he’d give someone just starting out in the business, Ortiz answered, “Be a sponge and ask questions…learn as much as possible. We have some of the best technicians in the country that reside within the walls at Park Place.” 

Other Bodywerks Dallas members representing Park Place in the annual statewide competition included Philip Glass, who placed third in the Estimating Competition out of 25 participants, and Bodywerks Estimator Davis Richards, a two-time winner in the competition. After his first place win last year, Richards volunteered to judge the 2024 estimating competition. 

Park Place Bodywerks Dallas is located at 6120 Peeler Street, near Love Field, in Dallas.

Remember the 2014 ALS Ice Bucket Challenge that swept the nation? The challenge inspired more than 17 million people worldwide and raised more than $115 million for ALS a decade ago.

Southlake resident Ashley Burnett is currently raising awareness and funds for ALS research in honor of her dad, Todd, who is currently fighting this disease. She issued a challenge online and has already surpassed her goal of raising $4000 by more than $1,000. Hawaiian Falls Roanoke is hosting her 2024 ALS Ice Bucket Challenge at 10 a.m. Monday, July 15 ay their wavepool. One of Todd’s best friends is San Francisco 49ers Superbowl Champion tight end Brent Jones, who will also be there in support of Todd and those fighting ALS. 

“One year ago my Dad was diagnosed with ALS,” said Ashley. “I wanted to do something to help raise money and awareness in the fight against this awful disease! July 15th is the official 10-year anniversary of the original Ice Bucket Challenge that raised over one hundred million dollars. I had an idea to gather a bunch of people and do a big Ice Bucket Challenge in honor of both my dad and the anniversary. Texas is so hot in July! So I came up with the idea to do an event at a water park. I am so grateful that Hawaiian Falls jumped on board to partner with me in throwing this awesome fundraiser! With a disease that is full of the unknown and often feels so hopeless, raising money through this event gives my family back a little bit of that hope.  We would love to see you there, or you can still make a donation even if you can’t make it! Thanks so much for your support!”

Anyone can participate in the Ice Bucket Challenge before the waterpark opens to the public. Guests who donate $15 to the cause receive their own ice bucket as well as a FREE Hawaiian Falls ticket.
