We are proud that the foundation has drawn the attention of Texans such as T. Boone Pickens, our most generous donor to date, and the first member of the Foundation 100 Club. The foundation has begun to give back to the citizens of Texas and made a substantial donation to Operation Finally Home to help build a mortgage free home for a military hero who was gravely injured in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting massacre. Additionally, four outstanding college and university students were selected to receive the inaugural Texas Builders Foundation Scholarships for the Fall 2011 semester. Link to the press release for more information on our 2011 scholarship recipients.
