TXB (Texas Born) recently hosted its 29th Annual Fishing and Golf Classic, the retailer told NACS, raising nearly $200,000 in donations for CASA, a child advocacy nonprofit benefiting children in foster care. The $200,000 adds to TXB’s $1,000,000 donated in support of CASA.
The event took place October 27-28 at Lake Texoma in North Texas, with the fishing tournament on the first day and the golf tournament on the second day.
“We have worked hard to support CASA over the years through many donations and this year, it feels especially wonderful as it’s the highest amount we’ve raised—nearly $200,000—through our Annual Fishing and Golf Classic,” said Kevin Smartt, CEO at TXB. “This event allows us to continue to give back to the communities we operate in across Texas in a big way and contribute to such a great cause that helps kids throughout Texas in really big ways. We are thrilled to hit this incredible milestone.”
In other recent TXB news, earlier this year the retailer selected Mako Networks as its Managed Network Service Provider (MNSP) to “enhance network reliability, security and scalability” as it plans to expand from 50 to more than 100 store locations across Texas and Oklahoma.
