Spindletop Community Impact Partners

We had an incredible time partnering with The Periwinkle Foundation for a vibrant STEM Day camp! Our Spindletop volunteers led 40 amazing campers through fun experiments like Elephant Toothpaste and Lego Coding, bringing science to life in a hands-on way. It’s a joy to support The Periwinkle Foundation’s mission to transform the lives of children and families facing cancer and other life-threatening illnesses, and we’re grateful for the lasting connections made during this unforgettable day.

Spindletop is thrilled to be a partner of the Brookwood Community, where adults with disabilities thrive in a nurturing environment that fosters growth and belonging. Our Spindletop volunteers had a wonderful time working with Brookwood's horticulture team in the Spindletop Greenhouse planting beautiful poinsettias that will not only brighten the Houston area but also support Brookwood’s incredible citizens! These poinsettias will adorn our stunning Christmas tree at the Spindletop Holiday Ball on December 12th. Let's celebrate the spirit of giving and the amazing work of the Brookwood Community!
