Sponsor the Shot That Sends a Cy-Fair Senior to College
Quick Answer: The CFEF Sporting Clays Tournament is a fun, competitive fundraiser on August 27, 2026, at Westside Sporting Grounds in Katy, Texas. Sponsorships range from $1,500 to $8,500 and directly fund scholarships for graduating Cy-Fair ISD seniors. Spots are limited — contact Marie Holmes at Marie@thecfef.org or 281.370.0144.
Why This Matters for Your Business and Your Community
Every year, hundreds of Cy-Fair ISD seniors graduate with ambition and ability but without the financial resources to make college a reality. The Cy-Fair Educational Foundation exists to close that gap — and the CFEF Sporting Clays Tournament is one of the most impactful ways for the Northwest Houston business community to come together to make it happen.
This is not a gala. It is not a silent auction where your name gets printed in a program no one reads. This is a full day of competitive clay shooting, exceptional food, and genuine relationship-building with other business leaders who care about where they do business and who grows up in it. Your sponsorship does double duty: it puts your brand in front of the right people, and it puts real scholarship money into the hands of local students who earned it.
If your company operates in Cypress, Jersey Village, Bridgeland, or anywhere in the Cy-Fair corridor (NW Houston), this is the event that connects you to the community in a way that a digital ad never will.

The Food Alone Is Worth It
Let’s be direct: the breakfast spread from Backyard Grill and the post-tournament lunch from Creekwood Grill are not afterthoughts. These are real meals from respected local restaurants that players genuinely look forward to. When your team wraps up the morning on the course, they come back to a lunch that feels like a celebration — because it is one.
It is also one more reason your team will be talking about this day long after August 27. Events that feed people well get remembered. Events that feed people well and benefit local students get talked about.

Where the $$$ Goes: Cy-Fair ISD Seniors
Every dollar raised at the CFEF Sporting Clays Tournament goes toward student scholarships for graduating Cy-Fair ISD seniors. These are students from schools across the district — Cypress Creek, Cypress Ranch, Cy-Fair, Jersey Village, Langham Creek, Cypress Falls, and more — who have worked hard throughout high school and are ready for what comes next.
The Cy-Fair Educational Foundation has awarded millions of dollars in scholarships over the years. You can read real success stories from CFEF scholarship recipients on the foundation’s website — students who went on to become nurses, engineers, teachers, and business owners right here in the communities your company serves.
When you sponsor this tournament, you are not writing a check to an abstraction. You are investing in a specific, local pipeline of talent and leadership that strengthens the Northwest Houston economy for decades.
Why Cy-Fair Businesses Show Up for This Event
The CFEF Sporting Clays Tournament is now in its fifth year. That kind of longevity does not happen by accident. Businesses come back because the event is well-run, the cause is credible, and the return on their sponsorship investment — in visibility, relationships, and community standing — is real.
Consider what a $1,500 Team Sponsor investment gets you in practical terms:
- A foursome of your team members on the course for a full morning
- A shared experience that builds internal culture and morale
- Face time with other business leaders in Cypress, Bridgeland, and Jersey Village
- Brand association with one of the most respected nonprofit foundations in Cy-Fair ISD
- The knowledge that your company directly helped a local student afford college
- View the flyer > SHARE ME
That is not a bad afternoon’s work for a team of four.

FAQ Below – Visual PDF
Do my team members need to be experienced shooters to participate?
Not at all. Sporting clays is often described as “golf with a shotgun,” and the format is beginner-friendly. Westside Sporting Grounds staff are present throughout the event, and the mandatory safety briefing at 9:45 a.m. ensures every participant understands what to expect before shooting begins. Many teams include first-timers who end up having the best time of anyone on the course.
What is included in a foursome sponsorship?
Any sponsorship package that includes a foursome covers four players on the course together as a team, with a shared golf cart. Depending on your sponsorship level, your company name may appear on the cart itself. Food is provided for all players — breakfast from Backyard Grill in the morning and lunch from Creekwood Grill after the tournament.
What is the deadline to secure a sponsorship?
Sponsorship spots are limited and fill up as the August 27 date approaches. The sooner you commit, the more lead time CFEF has to include your logo on promotional materials, social media, press releases, and tournament t-shirts. Contact Marie Holmes at Marie@thecfef.org or 281.370.0144 to confirm availability and reserve your level.
Can I sponsor the event without fielding a team?
Yes. Several sponsorship options — including the Scorecard Sponsor, Eye Protection Sponsor, Hearing Protection Sponsor, and Food & Drink Sponsor — provide brand visibility across the entire event without requiring you to put a team on the course. These are excellent options for businesses that want meaningful community presence without dedicating a full team day to the event.
How do I register or get more information?
You can purchase a sponsorship online or reach out directly to Marie Holmes at Marie@thecfef.org or 281.370.0144. The tournament flyer with full sponsorship details is also available on the CFEF events page.
