Where Your Money Goes

Cancer Research

Each year we make a large gift to the Ray Walsh Research Fund at Houston Methodist's cancer center, which funds research and clinical trials that give relapsed patients new options. We have also given to M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.

Help for Local Families

Houston hospital social workers refer patients who need help with treatment costs. We have helped patients from age 2 to 60, with many different diagnoses.

Christmas at Texas Children's

Every December we bring toys to children spending the holidays in treatment at Texas Children's Hospital.

More than $450,000 given since 2005 to M.D. Anderson, Houston Methodist, Texas Children's Hospital, and patients across the Houston area.

About Ray

All who knew Ray agree there are not enough people like him in this world.

Ray was an honest, happy, hard-working man who loved life and lived it to the fullest. He loved dancing with Fran, his wife of 38 years, and never missed a Little League practice, dance recital, or band performance for any of their eight children. After raising seven biological children, Ray and Fran opened their home to more than 25 foster children and adopted Fred, their first.

He was “Gappa” to 16 grandchildren, and he fought non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with courage so he could watch them grow up. Ray spent 37 years at Shell, mentoring younger colleagues along the way. He belonged to St. Mary's Catholic Church in Humble for over 20 years and played Atascocita Country Club, where we hold the tournament, for just as long. He taught all his children to golf, though even his left-handed sons play righty.

His family started the foundation in 2005 to keep his memory and legacy alive.
