Every year since our inception we have supported The Woods Project. This remarkable local nonprofit is dedicated to empowering Houston’s youth by opening doors to transformative wilderness exploration experiences. These journeys not only ignite a sense of adventure but also foster academic achievement, college preparedness, and career readiness among high school students who might otherwise lack access to such opportunities. With a mission rooted in shaping lifelong success, The Woods Project continues to create a profound and enduring impact, and we are honored to contribute, in our own small way, to their extraordinary work.
