With a beautiful backdrop of sunshine, Texas Children’s hosted a special private luncheon for patients, their families and employees on the 18th green at Memorial Park during the Wednesday Pro-Am of the Houston Open.
As part of a new three-year commitment as a Community-Partner sponsor for the PGA Tour stop, Texas Children’s also served as a Gate Day sponsor on Saturday and sponsor of the Houston Open Family Fun Zone, which included games and activities for children.
“All of us at Texas Children’s are honored and excited to be a part of the Houston Open,” said Mark A. Wallace, Texas Children’s President and CEO. “We are so proud of our partnership with the Astros Golf Foundation, and thank Jim (Crane) and his phenomenal team for putting together a wonderful event to keep this historic tradition alive for our community.”
The sponsorship provided plenty of signage and branding, as well as participation in the Wednesday Pro-Am where our very own Dr. Jim Versalovic, Matt Girotto, Trent Johnson and Dan Gollins took home the afternoon tournament. Way to go gentlemen! While the experience alone was reward enough, they each took home an Astros jersey with the Houston Open logo signed by Jim Crane.
The 2021 Houston Open was the third hosted and operated by the Astros Golf Foundation, which was formed in 2018 after Jim Crane agreed to take control of the long-standing tournament.
Through this sponsorship, Texas Children’s continued its support in the Houston community, raised money for local charities and showcased our expertise as national leaders in keeping families healthy, happy and growing.
