HOUSTON, Dec. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Through a
partnership with the Houston Texans, Conn's HomePlus (NASDAQ:
CONN) surprised three families from the Boys and Girls Clubs
of Greater Houston (BGCGH) with
$15,000 each for furniture and
appliances during the Texans matchup against the Seattle Seahawks
on Sunday, Dec. 12 at NRG Stadium.
These donations marked $1 million in
charitable giving, since 2017, through the brand's charitable arm,
Conn's Cares.
"Conn's HomePlus believes in giving back to the communities we
serve, and the Conn's Cares program provides a platform for us to
do just that," said Chandra Holt,
Conn's HomePlus president and CEO. "We were thrilled to celebrate
the $1 million milestone in our
hometown of Houston, in
partnership with our home team, by honoring three deserving
families."
Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater
Houston's mission is to inspire and enable all youth to
realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring
citizens. Boys & Girls Clubs are a safe place for children
and teens to go after school and during breaks.
"We are so moved by the generosity of Conn's HomePlus," said
Kevin Hattery, President and CEO of
Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater
Houston. "We understand the importance of having a
comfortable and safe place for our kids to go when they leave our
clubs, and Conn's HomePlus is helping provide that for these
families."
While at Clubs, kids have access to homework help, healthy
meals, sports, arts, and mentors that help them build character.
BGCGH has been in Houston nearly
70 years and annually serves over 30,000 youth aged 6-17 through 23
Club locations in five counties.

milestone," said Jerry Angel,

partnership and surprises like these give us the great opportunity
to make an even bigger impact in our community."
