04/22/2010 - On April 19th, 2010, Keller Williams Realty Katy @ Cinco Ranch hosted their 5th Annual Golf Classic benefitting Cinco Charities®. The tournament, held at River Ridge Golf Course, boasted over 100 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 $16,000; bringing the five year total to over $105,000 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 Chick-fil-A. After the tournament, Hasta la Pasta generously provided a fully catered dinner for over 140. This was the first year that Chick-fil-A provided lunches for our players, and remarkably, the fifth straight year that Hasta la Pasta has stepped up to the tee box with dinner! Snacks were graciously donated by Frito Lay.

Player awards were designed and donated by Custom Awards and Engraving and tournament signage was provided by Sign-A-Rama. Chris Hiller, event Chair, 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 guests in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010!
