Boots & Bling: TEF is Thankful for Supporters & Sponsors

The Tomball Education Foundation is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) volunteer organization dedicated to serving Tomball Independent School District students. TEF helps kids by giving them a scholastic advantage, including school supplies for financially challenged families and educational grants that offer beyond-the-budget student learning opportunities. TEF works hard to make Tomball an academic destination district for Texas families. And it wouldn’t be possible without donations from supporters and sponsors.

There are many ways you can support Tomball K-12 public school education. The Boots & Bling gala is a major fundraiser that finances innovative grants for Tomball classrooms, while recognizing TEF volunteers and donors. It’s a boot-kickin’ way to say thanks!
