Watco’s Houston Team Donates to Local Elementary School

Each year, the Watco Houston team has helped with a golf tournament to help raise funds to benefit a local elementary school. COVID-19 reared its ugly head and caused the cancellation of the tournament, but that didn’t stop the Houston team.

On Friday, October 23, Watco Houston presented a $10,000 check to the Woodland Acres Elementary School. The donation will assist the school in purchasing additional school supplies, equipment, and other items they need.

Vice President of Greens Port Industrial Terminals Ernie Farrand and Sales Assistant Jennifer Sévère attended the check presentation ceremony at the school. It was a small, socially-distanced event in the gymnasium, with kids and staff present.

Sévère said, “Watco Houston considers it a blessing to be a blessing to others in need. We wanted to make sure we were able to continue to support the school and the children who attend it.”

The staff stated they have purchased numerous books and will be purchasing needed equipment for the school using the $22,800 donation Watco Houston presented to them from last year’s golf tournament.
