Fifty teams gathered on a beautiful February morning to participate in the Spring Branch Education Foundation Sporting Clay Tournament, Co-Chaired by Doug Goodson and Rob Stewart. The event broke records again this year, raising more than $75,000 to be used to grants to support innovative Spring Branch ISD campus and district programs.

Chair Doug Goodson was amazed by this year’s event. “Every year, the SBEF Sporting Clay Tournament gets better. We are continually impressed by the way this community comes together to meet a need, and we do so with enthusiasm and passion. This year, the SBEF Sporting Clay Tournament participants showed their dedication to the staff and students of Spring Branch ISD and through their generosity in supporting this event, we will be able to offer district and campus-level grants to fund innovative projects expanding the educational experiences of every child in SBISD.”

Since 1993, Spring Branch Education Foundation has worked alongside Spring Branch ISD to support both students and educators. SBEF partners with Spring Branch ISD and the community to fund programs that enhance education and prepare our students for the future. For the last seven years, SBEF has given more than $1 million to Spring Branch ISD annually. In 2022, SBEF also funded every SBISD teacher grant request, provided school supplies for each economically disadvantaged student at every SBISD Title I and non-Title I pre-kindergarten, elementary, and middle schools, and awarded $209,000 in scholarships to graduating SBISD seniors.
