Shiner Academic & Athletic Foundation

Robert Werner makes his way through the crowd, just before dinner is served Saturday, to rub elbows with some of the day's largest donors toward the Old Shiner Gym projects. Seated in the foreground is Mark Hagens, owner of H&C Construction. The tall fellow standing there is Douglas Kaspar, son of Dan Kaspar and now the namesake to his charitable foundation.

Gathered for the Old Shiner Gym
