Houston Community Supports C-STEM on the Golf Course

We had so much fun at Houston’s Fifth Ward Chamber of Commerce Annual Charity Golf Tournament on Monday. 13 teams participated in the event at Magnolia Creek Golf Club. We are truly honored to be a chosen benefactor of this event. It was an amazing chance to connect with the local community and share about the work we do here at C-ST.


Thank you to the Chamber and all who supported us through this event!
