SkippyP's is active in the local school system supporting carnivals and fundraisers.  During recent disasters (read: hurricanes) we supported both Ellington Field and FEMA in feeding triage and emergency workers.  Contact us to see if we can help your organization, too.

MS150

Since 2005, SkippyP’s has made the annual trek to LaGrange, Texas in support of riders biking from Houston to Austin to raise money and awareness for Muscular Sclerosis.  Served at the halfway point of their ride, the teams that hire us can choose from dinner or dinner and breakfast in their own tentsite, helping them on their journey to end MS.  It’s rough and rustic, and a fantastic time for everyone.  SkippyP’s also invests in MS research by sponsoring riders in the BP MS150.  SkippyP’s is a preferred vendor for the ride, and we’re always happy to provide references from event organizers and teams, past and proposed menus, and create a custom meal plan for your team.  Are you a team captain or want to know more about our support of the MS150? Call or e-mail us today!

Operation BBQ and HOME

Operation BBQ for Our Troops is a grassroots effort to serve those in the military who serve us. SkippyP’s has organized and executed several OpBBQs here in the Houston area (see our blog entry for how it all went down), and has supported others throughout the United States by helping cook and serve, or by sending our sauces and rubs. It’s a fantastic feeling to see volunteers pour out in support of our troops, and to see those servicemen and women, and their families, enjoy a day of food and festivities. With more than 10,000 plates served, and thousands more supported nationwide, SkippyP’s is blessed and honored to give back.

Help Our Military Endure (HOME) is a nonprofit organization that sends care packages to the United States military men and women serving in far off countries - mainly Iraq and Afghanistan. We have sent thousands of care packages through HOME over the last few years and continue to send packages year round. SkippyP’s is honored to support HOME through the donation of our products.

Texas Oilman's Charity

The Texas Oilman's Charity Invitational Fishing Tournament was first held in June 2002 in Matagorda, Texas. It was a great success, netting $109,000 with approximately 600 participants. Since that time the event has continued to grow rapidly. The 2010 event had approximately 1,400 participants, including 747 fishermen, 23 tent sponsors and a vast number of guests and local celebrities. Proceeds for 2010 totaled $476,000. Over the last 8 years, the organization has donated $3.1 million to a variety of charities including Big Brothers Big Sisters, Boys & Girls Club, Shriner’s Burn Hospital, American Red Cross, and Special Olympics. SkippyP’s has proudly served tent sponsors since 2008.
