The Board of Directors of Cinco Charities is proud to announce our Inaugural Vision Event to be held February 10, 2009 at The Tuscany Villa in Katy, Texas.

The Inaugural Vision Event will be held Tuesday, February 10, 2009 from 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. and is by invitation only.

The Board of Directors of Cinco Charities would like to thank you all in advance for you help and support, both past and present. Without the continuing support of the Katy Community, our local vendors, hospitals, and Churches, none of this would be possible.

3rd Annual Golf Classic Scores Big
// April 30th, 2008 // No Comments » // Featured, Press Releases
On April 21st, 2008, Keller Williams Realty Katy @ Cinco Ranch hosted their 3rd Annual Golf Classic, this year benefitting Cinco Charities®. The tournament, held at River Ridge Golf Course, boasted over 140 players, assisted by 50+ Keller Williams’ volunteers and supported by over 40 Katy area businesses through generous donations of funds, goods and services. This year’s tournament raised over $23,000; bringing the three year total to over $75,000 to further the mission and goals of Cinco Charities®.
Carrie Brown, Tournament Coordinator, said, “We couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Through the hard work of many volunteers and the generous donations from Katy businesses, Cinco Charities® will be empowered to host future guests while continuing to work towards the eventual construction of their own facilities. The incredible staff at River Ridge has once again made this an extraordinary event for all involved.” Lunch for players and volunteers was graciously provided by Jason’s Deli. After the tournament, Hasta la Pasta generously provided a fully catered dinner for over 200. This was the third straight year that Jason’s Deli and Hasta la Pasta stepped up to the tee box, and subsequently the third consecutive year they hit it straight and true! Delectable desserts were provided this year by Ooh La La.
Player awards were designed and donated by Janota Art & Frame. Signage for the event was provided by The Sign Store and event programs were donated by Ideal Printing. Azzarelli’s was a tournament first, Bronze Sponsor for the event. Chris Hiller, Board Chair of Cinco Charities®, says, “What a blessing this will be for those in need. Our sincere thanks go out to all who supported, volunteered and participated in making this tournament a success. With their help, we are making a difference.”
“Building a Community of Care and Support”. That’s the mission statement of Cinco Charities®, formed in 2005 by a group of real estate professionals working with Keller Williams Realty Katy @ Cinco Ranch. With the recent completion of M.D. Anderson’s Radiation Treatment Center adjacent to Christus St. Catherine Hospital and the forthcoming construction of new area facilities by Texas Children’s, Methodist and St. Luke’s hospitals, Katy will become the temporary home for numerous families in need of medical care. It is the goal of Cinco Charities® to reach out to those families and give back a measure of the “Katy Spirit”.
The charity’s ultimate goal is to operate their own facility to accommodate multiple families at any one given time. Although still in the planning and fundraising stages, Cinco Charities® is anxious to begin meeting their vision and mission, and the charity has already hosted several guests during 2008.
