"Why I Volunteer!"

Cathy Long

"I volunteer because I can! A few years ago I was able to retire after working almost 30 years and raising my kids. Now I have the time to spend a few hours a week helping others. I've had very few hardships in my life and want to share that good fortune with others."

Cathy volunteers in the Food Pantry on Monday afternoons.

H-E-B Million Dollar Charity Shoot Out

November 2 - Avery Ranch Golf Club

We're excited to announce our venue change to Avery Ranch Golf Club for this year's 5th Annual H-E-B Million Dollar Charity Shoot Out. The first four tournaments have raised a total of $73,700 to assist area families in need. Included with tournament registration is a replay card good for an additional round of golf at Avery Ranch. Breakfast and lunch will be provided by Smokey Mo's Bar-B-Q.

The tournament is the brainchild of real estate broker Brad Schaible, owner of Schaible Realty, who coordinates the event along with help from his family, staff members, a planning committee and many business and community sponsors. Regarding the venue change, Brad says, "We are happy to announce that because of a better cell signal at Avery Ranch, we are able to have a live scoreboard app. This will make the event even more fun - great for our sponsors as well as the players."

Million Dollar Hole-in-One Contest

The highlight of the tournament is the Million Dollar Hole-in-One Shoot Out Contest. The names of 10 lucky players are drawn for a chance to sink a hole-in-one and win $1,000,000!

H-E-B Returns as Title Sponsor

We are grateful to H-E-B for returning as title sponsor for the tournament and we especially want to thank Gary Anderson, General Manager for H-E-B Plus! Leander, for his great and continued support. Thank you H-E-B for your commitment to our community.

For more information or to register, please visit the tournament website at www.BSRealtyCharity.com or contact tournament director Brad Schaible at 512-259-5580. Please share the flier to sign up teams and help promote the event.

2015 Holiday Turkey Project

Holiday Turkeys for Needy Families

We anticipate that we will distribute approximately 500 turkeys to needy families this year during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday season. You, your church, business or civic organization can help by donating funds to purchase turkeys for families in need. The cost of each turkey is approximately $15. Funds raised over and above the cost of the turkeys will be used to provide all the "fixin's" for the turkey dinner and purchase additional food during the holiday season. Please see the flier for more information and be sure to share it with your friends and neighbors. We appreciate your support!

Meet the Challenge

Business Sponsors

This summer twelve business sponsors have stepped up to help us meet the challenge of keeping our Food Pantry full. Sponsors receive a plaque to display in their place of business, and the funds help us purchase much needed food for the Food Pantry. A big "Thank You" to all that participated in our summer challenge!
