Here's a look at some of our teams embracing the challenge!

Thanks to the generosity and continued support of our sponsors, the 2026 Carriage Cares Open was proud to contribute $85,000 to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Houston, supporting their mission to empower young people and create brighter futures.

Over the past three years, the Carriage Cares Open has grown into something truly special, generating more than $350,000 in charitable contributions benefiting the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Houston and the Carriage Cares Foundation.

To every sponsor who has invested in this event, thank you. Your partnership extends far beyond the golf course, creating meaningful opportunities and making a lasting difference in the communities we serve.

We are grateful for what we've accomplished together and look forward to building on this impact for years to come.

Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, the courage of those who ran toward danger, and the families who carry that loss every day.

We honor their memory, and the spirit of compassion and unity that brought our nation together.

We will never forget.
