Simmons\u2019 brother Clayton was diagnosed with autism in 2020 and Simmons realized there were limited resources in Duncanville and South Dallas for those on the spectrum. As a result, Simmons and McCarley started Clay\u2019s Color Crew in order to bring awareness and resources to those who may not have had them in the past. Simmons talks about how Clayton\u2019s love of colors resonated with him, and how it served as an inspiration for the charity. McCarley gushes about how proud she is of her son for looking out for Clayton.<\/p>\n

Womack is an artist and Longhorn from the Dallas area who has a special line of art associated with Clay\u2019s Color Crew where 25 percent of the proceeds from art associated with CCC will go to the charity.<\/p>\n
