They say everything is bigger in Texas, and our Alexis de Tocqueville Society members brought every bit of that spirit to our Cowboy Couture Kickoff Reception at Goode Co. Armadillo Palace. Between the big hats and belt buckles, we celebrated even bigger community impact and the remarkable legacy of good that ADT donors are creating in Greater Houston. Thank you to everyone who joined us and to all who help us connect people to possibility.

We had a spectacular time with HP during their Supplier Summit and charitable golf tournament. 🏌️ More than 250 supply chain leaders and suppliers for the company joined us on the green to show their support. Thank you, HP, for helping us raise $100,000 during the tournament to create brighter futures for our neighbors. We were so excited to join you and to see employees coming together and enjoying the event! Photos courtesy of HP

We’d like to give a big welcome to our Project Blueprint Class XLV! This group is off to a great start. They’ve already participated in a retreat in Galveston and received an insightful presentation from Ruth N. López Turley, the director of the Kinder Institute for Urban Research, about Houston’s past, present, and future. We are thrilled for these students to gain knowledge through this program and to learn new leadership skills!

We’re celebrating 10 years of our Mastering Algebra Together, Houston (M.A.T.H.) program! Thank you, ConocoPhillips, for partnering with us and making an impact. This program focuses on helping students improve their math skills and feel confident about their skills. An average of 70% of students increase their scores from pre to post assessment through the initiative. To celebrate the anniversary of M.A.T.H., the United Way team put their algebra skills to the test with fun math activities!
