Small Steps 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. Since the first tournament in 1996, the Classic has raised more than $14.3 million for Small Steps Nurturing Center.
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. Additionally, the Energy Classic is a first-class business entertainment event that is well known for the large number of great door prizes given away at the awards dinner following the tournament. This year, over 130 corporations, foundations, and individuals sponsored the Energy Classic in support of Houston’s economically at-risk, inner-city children.
