At TopGolf, a Fundraiser for TEACH Tees Up $320K

Butch Woolfolk, Cornell Williams and Lonnie Knowles

SUPPORTERS OF THE nonprofit To Educate All Children (TEACH) hit TopGolf Katy for a laid-back, benevolent bash that raised more than $320,000.

The Tee Up Fore TEACH event, chaired by Phyllis Williams, included an online auction and onsite raffle, which touted prizes like jewelry, wine and a chef-catered dinner at Minute Maid Park. Speaking of the Astros, the Astros Foundation was honored for its longtime commitment to teachers and public education.

The organization, founded by Susan Sarofim and Mary Yenik, provides teachers with resources, support and professional development — services which were critical during the pandemic, when challenges facing educators were truly unprecedented.

More than 250 golfers enjoyed the casual-cool (ok, it was actually quite hot) day’s events, which included a TopGolf competition among teams.

A Personal Note from Jeff Gremillion: Changes at ‘Houston CityBook’

ON JAN. 3, 2025, I observed a big personal anniversary. As of that day, it’d been 20 years since I first moved to Houston — from the Big Apple media circus, by way of my home state of Louisiana — and began working as an editor in the lifestyle-magazine biz here. It’s been two full decades, which is hard to believe! I like to joke that I’m far too young and good-looking to have done anything for two decades. But here we are.
