Langdon Farms Golf Course 

Houston’s was happy to be a sponsor of the 6th Annual Cash&Carry Cup in Aurora, OR!

The Cash&Carry Cup is a part of an annual fundraising program held by Cash&Carry Smart Foodservice to help fight hunger in partnership with Feeding America, a nationwide network of 200 food banks that leads the fight against hunger in the United States. Since the program started in 2012, Cash&Carry Smart Foodservice has raised over $800,00 for local food banks!

Langdon Farms Gold Club hosted the event, and the course was in great shape. Clear and sunny skies accompanied the golfers as the tournament was set to begin. As event sponsors, Geoff and Gregg Dann (of Houston’s) along with Johnny Huang (of Thunder Group) teamed up with Ray Meyer (of Cash&Carry Smart Foodservice) to play in the Cup! The format was Shotgun Start meaning all groups of players tee off simultaneously from different holes, making for a very action-packed round of golf. The men played well, but did not place. But in the end, placing did not matter. All that matter was being able to participate and give to such a great cause.

“Cash&Carry has been committed to relieving hunger with this event for a number of years,” says Geoff Dann, Director of Merchandising at Houston’s. “It’s a privilege to participate and help contribute toward their cause, along with our friends in the industry.”

Also at the event you could find a silent auction, an abundance of food, raffles for prizes, and various team awards! All proceeds from the event went to local food banks that Cash&Carry Smart Foodservice teamed up with to fight hunger via cash and food donations.

It was wonderful to be part of such a positive event and Houston’s looks forward to continued partnerships that support worthy causes!

“Grab your lawn chair and head to Main Street for a night of free fun and entertainment!” Houston’s was proud to sponsor Music on Main, a local community music festival, in Grandview, Missouri. In addition to food from a variety of local vendors and a Kid Zone, this year’s event featured live music from Ernie Biggs Dueling Pianos, Phil Vandel, Revelation: A Tribute to Journey, and Funk Syndicate.

While general admission was free, attendees could purchase tickets to enter the “Green Room” presented by local Peterson Manufacturing Company, for $25 each. Access to the Green Room gave attendees a place to party the evening away, and enjoy tastings of food from restaurants across Grandview and the local metro area, as well as a private cash bar, premier parking, and gallery seating for all of the musical performances.

Many Houston’s employees were in attendance for a beautiful summer evening of music, dancing, food, and fun. Reportedly, the Journey cover band was one of the best acts of the night.
