HOUSTON - The Big Hat Posse is raising money to honor their late co-founder, Dave Rojas, who passed away after battling cancer in January 2021.

Dave was a dedicated Houston sports fan who spent countless hours cheering on the Astros, Rockets, Texans and UH Cougars.
His sister, Laura Rojas, said the family will be hosting their 5th Annual Downtown Dave Pub Crawl at 6 p.m. on Saturday, October 14 at Finn Hall. For more details, click here.
The event is open to the public. All proceeds from the event will go towards the Dave Eric Rojas Memorial Scholarship Fund.
"We need to raise $25,000 in five years and once we hit that goal, UH will invest the money and scholarships every year in Dave's name," Rojas said.
