An accomplished entrepreneur with more than two decades of experience in business leadership, Randy Eastburg leads Valley Ridge Roofing & Construction as its owner. An avid sports fan, Randy Eastburg regularly attends Dallas Mavericks games.For more than two decades, the Dallas Mavericks Foundation has been helping the Mavs given back to their community. This is done through a variety of programs, including the 50/50 Raffle. This community program was launched in 2016 and is hosted at every home game.During each game, guests can purchase raffle tickets from 50/50 staff. Staff members are dressed in orange jackets and located at kiosks throughout the American Airlines Center. These tickets can only be purchased in person using cash from the time the doors open to around the third quarter. Each ticket that is bought counts as a single entry in the 50/50 drawing, and each one increases the size of the 50/50 jackpot that a game attendee could win.The cost of raffle tickets ranges from $5 to $40, and winners of the 50/50 Raffle are announced during the fourth quarter of each game. Each winner receives 50 percent of the total jackpot for that game. The remaining 50 percent goes toward the programs and nonprofits that the Mavs Foundation supports.
As the owner of Flower Mound, Texas’ Valley Ridge Roofing & Construction, Randy Eastburg makes all business decisions and meets with insurance adjusters and sub-contractors to inspect completed work. When he isn’t working, Randy Eastburg enjoys following his favorite National Hockey League (NHL) team, the Dallas Stars.After an average start to the 2017-18 regular season, the Dallas Stars posted a perfect 4-0 record for the week ending December 3, which improved the team’s overall record to 16-10-1 and moved them into fourth place in their division. One of the catalysts toward the team’s recent success has been center Radek Faksa. The 23-year-old third-year pro scored five goals, added two assists, and registered a plus-7 rating during the team’s four-game winning streak and was subsequently named one of the NHL’s Three Stars of the week.Faksa scored in three of the Stars’ four games during the week and posted a three-goal performance in a November 28 contest against the Vegas Golden Knights. He scored all three goals in a seven-minute span during the second period. The Czech Republic native also added single tallies in back-to-back games against the Chicago Blackhawks. He now has 10 goals and six assists in 26 games and is only two goals away from tying his career-high.
An experienced business owner, Randy Eastburg served over a decade as president of New Mexico's Cross Country Auto Sales before launching his current endeavor Valley Ridge Roofing and Construction in Flower Mound, Texas, in 2010. Beyond his business pursuits, Randy Eastburg is a passionate fan of the National Football League's (NFL) Dallas Cowboys.In 2014, the NFL established the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award in honor of the late owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The first three winners of the award were Larry Fitzgerald, Charles Woodson, and Frank Gore, and a Dallas Cowboys player has an opportunity to become the fourth winner of the award. The team nominated center Travis Frederick as its representative for the award, which will be presented on the weekend of Super Bowl LII in February 2018. A first-round pick of the Cowboys in the 2013 NFL Draft, Frederick is a three-time Pro Bowl player who serves as a captain with Dallas and has yet to miss a start in his five-year career. The eight finalists for the award will be chosen by a panel of four NFL legends (Curtis Martin, Karl Mecklenburg, Warrick Dunn, and Leonard Wheeler) and, from there, current players will vote for who they believe is the most deserving. The winner of the award receives a $25,000 donation toward the charity of his choice.
