ALTO, Texas (KETK) – Alto ISD, with the help of the Alto Booster Club, will create a scholarship fund in memory of Devonte Mumphrey by creating three fundraisers to raise money.

Mumphrey, who was a sophomore at Alto High School, died after collapsing during a basketball game on Tuesday, February 8. He fell during the second quarter of the game against Mount Enterprise.

He was a basketball and football player and was also known as Vonte. Mumphrey was loved throughout the community and was nominated for Week 12 for Mr. Texas Basketball, which is selected by Dave Campbell’s Texas Basketball.

The district and booster club will hold three different fundraisers throughout the month of February.

“CHANGING LIVES LIKE VONTE” will run from Wednesday, February 16 through Friday, February 25. It’s going to be a war of change between grade levels to clean the couch cushions, flip their piggy banks, and change lives like Vonte.

“Forever 13,” coined after Mumphrey’s jersey number, are wristbands that will be sold on every campus beginning Monday, Feb. 28.

“You Good” t-shirt order forms will go home on Tuesday, February 22 with all students. Order forms can also be picked up at the Alto ISD administration building starting that day.

All proceeds will go to the Devonte Mumphrey Memorial Scholarship.
