For 120 years, we have passionately served Texans and our communities. We are proud to support Houston Ballet’s Education and Community Engagement initiatives such as the Student Matinee performances of The Nutcracker and much more. It is said teaching is a calling, and we could not agree more. That is why we proudly support the outstanding educators who have dedicated themselves to making a difference in the lives of our children. From the classroom to the community, we proudly answer the call by giving back over $15 million annually to Texas educational initiatives. It is our way of saying thank you for allowing us to be your neighbor. We call it our Spirit of Giving. In this spirit, H-E-B/Central Market annually donates over five percent of our pre-tax earnings to non profit organizations and initiates making a positive impact in our communities.
We are thrilled to sponsor Houston Ballet and its performances of The Sleeping Beauty here in Houston.
