Details:
A sold-out crowd and a special appearance by NFL champion Drew Brees at the ninth annual Touchdown for TEACH fundraising gala on Nov. 9 helped raise $1.2 million for TEACH’s mission to educate all children.
More than 400 guests attended the event, held in the River Oaks Country Club ballroom, and relished the opportunity to be together in person again following last year’s virtual gala. Because the event was generously underwritten by donor Fayez Sarofim, all funds raised will directly support TEACH’s mission to help advance public education by helping create equitable, engaging classrooms for all students.
Special guest Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints Quarterback and 2009 Super Bowl MVP, was interviewed by H-E-B President Scott McClelland, event emcee and co-chair, and reflected on his legendary football career, recent retirement and the important role that education and mentorship have played in his life.
This year’s event honorees, The Champagne Cowgirls, were recognized for their notable contributions to education through the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Junior Market Steer Auction. Additionally, Touchdown for TEACH co-chairs Carol and Mike Linn and Soraya and Scott McClelland were honored by TEACH co-founder Susan Sarofim for their longstanding dedication to the annual fundraiser, of which they’ve served as co-chairs for nine and four years, respectively.
In the 2020-2021 school year, TEACH reached more than 12,000 students through its work with more than 1,000 educators across nearly two dozen Houston-area schools. Save the date for next year’s gala, Nov. 15, 2022, when TEACH gala will honor RodeoHouston at Grand Champions for TEACH.
