October 16, 2024 – Houston –Today, Kids’ Meals, which is ending childhood hunger in Houston, announces it has received a donation from the Halliburton Charity Golf Tournament (HCGT), the central fundraising event of the Halliburton Charitable Foundation.
“We are incredibly grateful to Halliburton and the participants and sponsors of the Charity Golf Tournament for this substantial donation,” said Beth Harp, CEO of Kids’ Meals. “These funds will have a tremendous impact on our ability to deliver free, healthy meals to preschool-aged children living food insecure.”
With this donation, Kids’ Meals plans to make and deliver lunches for each weekday, amounting to more than 2.7 million meals this year alone.
On Oct. 2, the Halliburton Charitable Foundation held its 31st tournament in Houston, Texas. The tournament brought golfers, sponsors, and philanthropic leaders together to raise funds to support various charitable organizations from across the U.S., including Kids’ Meals.
“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 Kids’ Meals 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 significant impact through a major capital expenditure or a special community program. Selected nonprofits must serve a specific audience and demonstrate the reach and impact of the proposed capital expenditure or community program.
This year’s event raised more than $4 million – setting a record for the most raised in a single year at the tournament, raising and donating funds to benefit more than 100 charities nationwide in 2024.
