Halliburton Charity Golf Tournament Raises Millions for Nonprofit Organizations across the U.S.
$14 million Donated to Charities since Tournament’s Inception
HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The 23rd annual Halliburton Charity Golf Tournament raised
more than $2.5 million for 24 nonprofit organizations across Houston and
the U.S. The tournament, held Oct. 18, has donated almost $14 million to
charities over its 23-year history.
More than 400 golfers participated in the fundraiser held at Topgolf in
Spring, Texas, instead of its previously planned location at The Clubs
of Kingwood which suffered damage from Hurricane Harvey. More than 100 sponsors
supported the event.
“The spirit of the Halliburton Charity Golf Tournament is to provide
funding to charities in the Houston area and across the U.S.,” said Jeff
Miller, Halliburton president and CEO. “We moved forward with our
tournament, despite the logistical challenges of an alternative
location, because we know that the funds raised are vitally important to
the more than 24 recipient organizations, including the Houston-based
charities that can utilize the donations in their Harvey recovery
efforts.”
