Outlive Yourself : Stories & Updates

What an incredible evening at the inaugural Outlive Yourself Awards presented by Legacy ER and Urgent Care on November 5th! Thank you to our generous sponsors and individuals that joined us for this memorable evening. What a fantastic evening that was full of celebration - of life, of our honorees, and of the wonderful work that Taylor’s Gift has accomplished in the past five years!

On Friday, September 18th, Taylor’s Gift Foundation hosted our second annual Topgolf Tournament in The Colony. The event raised nearly $45,000 to support the mission of Taylor’s Gift with 170 players participating.

We were joined by local celebrity Shelly Slater, WFAA News Anchor, who was the emcee for the event.

Last Friday, May 15th, Taylor’s Gift Foundation hosted our very first event in Houston, Texas at Topgolf Spring! A fun tournament that was full of energy for Taylor's Gift brought together new supporters, friends, and volunteers in the Houston community. Funds raised at the event will go to help the mission of Taylor's Gift and support our Houston partners, Nora’s Home and LifeGift.

It was such a treat to be joined by local Houston celebrities! We had fun spending the day with Robert Boudwin, aka Clutch the Houston Rockets mascot, Owen Conflenti from KPRC Channel 2, and Producer Eric from the KRBE Roula and Ryan Show.

"It was an honor and pleasure for my wife Amy and I to help produce and co-host this golf tournament with Taylor's Gift.  We are so happy to have forged what we know will be a lasting and meaningful relationship with Taylor's Gift co-founder Tara Storch.  I'm proud that we were able to raise awareness for organ donation and funds for donor families at not only the tournament, but also through telling our stories on many Houston TV and radio stations promoting the event that will hopefully inspire people to become organ donors and ultimately SAVE LIVES!" - Robert Boudwin, aka Clutch the Houston Rockets mascot 

Last Friday, May 1st, Taylor’s Gift Foundation hosted our 4th Annual Sporting Clays Tournament at the Dallas Gun Club. With more participants than we've ever had, it was a very successful event for Taylor's Gift! Mother Nature was very kind and gave us beautiful weather which added to the excitement of the day. It was a great day full of shooting sporting clays, enjoying good food, and winning incredible prizes and auction items.

A Beautiful Day for Fundraising

“Thanks to Taylor’s Gift for organizing the Sporting Clays Tournament. It was a great day, a fantastic facility and the volunteer support was outstanding. Certainly one of the best organized and run charity events that I have attended. We took the opportunity to challenge our friends, associates and competitors in our industry to “compete for a cause” and we had a great time and thank the other teams for joining us for a day of friendly competition.”
