9th Annual Core Values Luncheon

River Oaks Country Club
Honoring Chevron
We are proud to host the 9th Annual Core Values Luncheon at River Oaks Country Club, bringing together community leaders, supporters, and champions of youth development for our largest annual fundraiser benefiting First Tee Greater Houston programs.
This year, we are honored to recognize Chevron for its longstanding commitment to empowering young people across Greater Houston. As a dedicated partner and major supporter of First Tee – Greater Houston, Chevron has made a transformational impact on our organization and the youth we serve. Most recently, Chevron’s generous $1 million investment to the Chevron Center for Education and Golf at F.M. Law Park, is creating new opportunities for young people to learn, grow, and thrive both on and off the golf course.
Chevron’s commitment extends beyond facilities. The company continues to champion opportunities for girls through its support of our LPGA*USGA Girls Golf program, helping inspire confidence, leadership, and a lifelong love of the game among the next generation of female golfers.
We are also grateful for the leadership of Gaynor Shirreffs, who serves on the Houston Golf Association Board of Directors and will chair this year’s luncheon. Her dedication and advocacy exemplify Chevron’s deep investment in strengthening our community and advancing the mission of First Tee – Greater Houston.
Join us as we celebrate Chevron’s extraordinary partnership and raise critical funds to ensure First Tee – Greater Houston can continue building game changers through the game of golf.
