Austin, TX – The Greater East Austin Youth Association (GEAYA) proudly celebrates Coach Lee Dawson Jr., who was honored by 4th-grade students at Govalle Elementary during Black History Month. In a heartfelt tribute, students created a mural thanking Coach Lee and highlighting his commitment to revitalizing Mabson Field, home of GEAYA Baseball.

The mural, which remains on display at Govalle Elementary, showcases Coach Lee’s efforts to raise $50,000 to renovate Mabson Field with new AstroTurf. Before securing funding, he personally mowed the grass and maintained the field daily, ensuring young athletes had a safe and well-kept place to play.

“I am deeply honored to be recognized by the students and teachers of Govalle Elementary,” said Coach Lee Dawson Jr. “Seeing this mural and knowing my work has inspired young minds is truly humbling. This community means everything to me, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to give back.”

GEAYA commends Coach Lee for his unwavering dedication and thanks the students and teachers of Govalle Elementary for their inspiring tribute.
