our Sunday conversation this morning's
with a member of one of the Houston's
most prominent families the McNair's a
name synonymous with the Texans and
community service
Hannah McNair is married to Cal McNair
son of the late Bob McNair an integral
part of the McNair's continued legacy
Hannah plays a major role in the
family's philanthropy work she talks
more about that the texans and her late
father-in-law in this Sunday
conversation with our Christine Noel
okay so you're this wonderful mom wife I
personally think a fashionista Oh super
active within the nonprofit world how do
you juggle it all a very supportive
family and we definitely make time
well let me say we do I actually don't
know every day is different and I don't
know because if you have a sick child it
you know your whole day changes and you
gotta figure it all out that you really
can't tell you how I do is it literally
like a one day - talking navigating and
continuing to move forward yes but I
will say that I always make family my
priority if we can able to talk about
Bob for a second I know late last year
you lost your father-in-law and really
the city of Houston lost Bob over the
years of your time with him and your
husband's time with him what is the one
thing that you feel like he left with
you that really inspires you both to
continue giving back and being so so
close to the community you can't go
wrong by doing what's right and he laid
the foundation early on with the
organization and with his family for Cal
from a young age and then when I came
into the family is you really can't go
wrong by doing what's right no matter
the pressure that's on you you always do
the right thing
he always instilled in everybody that
you needed to give back to the community
and that has stuck with all of us I mean
he laid that foundation you feel like
that's even more so true now that he's
passed yes we're we have the
responsibility to continue that on that
legacy that he's left us with it we want
to continue on and the Houston Texans
foundation is really involved with a lot
of charities and give to a lot of
charities and a lot of times we see the
players showing up to these events that
community involvement involvement for
the players what do you think that does
for them as a team and as individuals
well when anybody gives back and does
something good it makes you feel better
if you're having a bad day and then you
do something good for somebody else all
of a sudden your day is much better and
so when you can do that throughout the
entire organization they feel better
they love to do it it's not hard to get
them to go out into the community and to
make a difference in the future lives
that these children because it makes
them feel better and they know that
they're doing something good for the
future generations and a lot of times
you see like these big tough guys you
know and we see we see the work that
they did on the field and then here they
aren't for these little kids and it's
almost like sometimes they turn to mush
right you have was there ever a moment
where you saw like one of the players
and you're like oh my gosh
like look at him with that little one
all of them yeah they're all so good
with the kids and I think they'd rather
be with the kids than any of the adults
so really they it always turns me too
much just watching them and you get new
players in every year and every time
they're just so sweet with the children
and I I think that they connect with
them because sometimes they can see
themselves in these young children that
maybe they're from a community that is
hard and they want to help them so
they're paying it forward how it was
given to them and they're gonna make a
difference in these children and I'm
sure for you and your family like sort
of seeing that full circle I'm assuming
that presumably football is king in the
McNair household and I'm sure that maybe
in some cases these players become sort
of like a part of your family
everybody in the organization is a part
of our family when you come in when you
leave I mean we're all a big family you
really are
