At TopGolf, a Fundraiser for TEACH Tees Up $320K

SUPPORTERS OF THE nonprofit To Educate All Children (TEACH) hit TopGolf Katy for a laid-back, benevolent bash that raised more than $320,000.


The Tee Up Fore TEACH event, chaired by Phyllis Williams, included an online auction and onsite raffle, which touted prizes like jewelry, wine and a chef-catered dinner at Minute Maid Park. Speaking of the Astros, the Astros Foundation was honored for its longtime commitment to teachers and public education.

The organization, founded by Susan Sarofim and Mary Yenik, provides teachers with resources, support and professional development — services which were critical during the pandemic, when challenges facing educators were truly unprecedented.

More than 250 golfers enjoyed the casual-cool (ok, it was actually quite hot) day’s events, which included a TopGolf competition among teams.

Consistent Focus on the Patient Is What Sets Montrose Med Spa Apart

Owner Maricela Olivo and Montrose Med Spa

WHAT MAKES MONTROSE Med Spa stand apart from the competition? We set ourselves apart from the competition by being consistently focused on one thing: the patient. With that focus, we will succeed in a successful and healthy experience and loyalty to Montrose Med Spa. Staying true to our message of intentional wellness is a point of difference where I see other spas being unclear and distracted in their direction. By listening to our patients, we ensure we meet and exceed their expectations. We continually stay on top of the market by offering the best innovative body sculpting and skin treatments that invigorate and energize and are specifically designed to restore balance and strength and renew youth to the body. We also utilize a number of marketing programs to stay on the minds of our guests, including radio, TV, direct mail, email blasts, and unique invitations for exclusive treatments. One element that helps to establish the bar and sets us apart from our competition is our emphasis on providing a complete medical gym experience—from the varied treatments with Emsculpt Neo to a personalized health and wellness and skin evaluation for each individual by our certified staff. We also provide a noninvasive, pain-free, and needle-free facelift through EMFace in addition to offering monthly beauty memberships that create a commitment to the overall wellbeing of the patient.
