2020 Nora’s Home 7th Annual Golf Classic
2024 Gala: World of Wonder
Yearly Events
HOUSTON, TX — Another year, another successful tournament for the Nora’s Home Classic, presented by Satterfield & Pontikes Construction. The nearly 150 enthusiastic participants in this year’s sold out event to benefit Houston’s haven for transplant patients and their families gathered on Friday, October 16th at Wildcat Golf Club (a change from previous years) to enjoy a safe and thoroughly entertaining day on the Lakes Course. The tournament, a cardinal date on the Nora’s Home fundraising calendar, raised a record-breaking $85,000-plus. This gift is especially welcome during a turbulent year in which local regulations have obliged Nora’s Home to operate at no more than 50% capacity.
Said John Marshall, Vice President of Marketing at Satterfield & Pontikes, “The S&P team works to build what matters and so we cherish the opportunity to support the great mission at Nora’s Home. Having a successful, safe event – even in these uncertain times – with an exceptional turnout allows us to thank and recognize our industry partners and vendors who have helped grow the Nora’s Home Classic into something truly special.”
At the conclusion of the tournament, the S&P Spirit Award was presented to Jack Lester, who spoke movingly about his connection to the Nora’s Home mission and his experience as a former guest.
Major tournament sponsors included: Diversified Thermal, Jomar Electrical, Hart Plumbing, LECS Electrical Contractors, Houston Methodist J.C. Walter Jr. Transplant Center, AVAdek, CFI Mechanical, Cherry Companies, LifeGift, Myrex, Newcastle Masonry, Ram Tool/Bosch, Sendero Industries, Synergen, Mr. Ellis Tudzin, and CareDx, Inc.
