Brighter Bites, a national nonprofit that delivers fresh fruits and vegetables directly into families' hands, received $50,600 in donations from the from the Halliburton Charity Golf Tournament (HCGT), the central fundraising event of the Halliburton Charitable Foundation.
Earlier this month, the foundation held its 31st tournament at the Clubs of Kingwood in Houston. The event brought golfers, sponsors, and philanthropic leaders together to raise funds to support various charitable organizations from across the U.S., including Brighter Bites.
"The Halliburton Charity Golf Tournament exemplifies our commitment to giving back to the communities where we live and operate. The impactful work from charities like Brighter Bites significantly enhance the well-being of the communities we serve," said Jeff Miller, Halliburton chairman, president, and CEO.
Proceeds from the event benefit a select group of charities with plans to make a substantial impact through a major capital expenditure or a special community program. The selected nonprofits must serve a specific audience and demonstrate the reach and impact of the proposed capital expenditure or community program.
"We are incredibly grateful to Halliburton and the participants and sponsors of the Charity Golf
Tournament for this substantial donation," said Rich Dachman, CEO of Brighter Bites. "These funds will have a tremendous impact on our ability to continue to serve the Houston community with access to fresh produce and nutrition education."
Last year's event raised more than $3.8 million – setting a record for the most raised in a single year at the tournament. This year, HCGT sought to break records again, raising and donating funds to benefit more than 100 charities nationwide in 2024.
