Events
Small Steps depends on private donations from generous donors, including individuals, corporations, churches, community groups, and foundations. A major source of our funding is through our annual fundraising events.
Energy Classic
The Small Steps Energy Classic is a premier charity golf tournament in Houston held each fall at Champions Golf Club and Northgate Country Club. A big draw of this event is the opportunity to network and market with industry colleagues including senior representation from every segment of the oil and gas industry.
Nurture & Nourish Luncheon
The 9th Annual Small Steps Nurture & Nourish Luncheon, co-chaired by Jennifer Daly and Mary Majors Payne, was held on October 1st at River Oaks Country Club. Our speaker Steve Pemberton reminded us that no matter how great the misfortune, we all have it in us to create a new beginning and persevere. This year’s luncheon was a huge success, raising more than $240,000! This includes $37,000 donated to our Scholarship Society during the luncheon program.
Clays Classic
Started in 2003 to help fund the construction of our second school in the Fifth Ward, the Small Steps Clays Classic has become an annual draw for many prominent companies. The tournament format consists of 100 targets at 10 stations.
