💚🏈 Right Here, Right Now! That's the spirit behind Phillips 66's 2026 United Way campaign, reflecting the most pressing needs of our Greater Houston neighbors and the impact we can make when we come together to support our community.

Phillips 66 brought the Good Energy to its campaign kickoff with a pep rally-style celebration featuring remarks from CEO Mark Lashier, Executive Vice President and United Way Campaign Executive Sponsor Don Baldridge, and United Way of Greater Houston CEO Amanda McMillian. Former Houston Texans players, Houston Texans Cheerleaders, the Texans drumline, TORO and the Phillips 66 mascots also joined in on the fun! 🥁

That same energy carries throughout the campaign season with special fundraising events, from networking receptions and golf tournaments to sporting clays, w**e tastings and gatherings with industry partners. These events bring people together to connect, give back and support our Greater Houston neighbors.

👏 A special thank you to the Phillips 66 United Way Steering Committee, whose tireless efforts help make these events and the campaign a success year after year!

Thank you, Phillips 66, for your continued generosity and commitment to building a stronger Greater Houston, right here, right now! 💚

For families working hard to make ends meet, earning more can make a world of difference. 💚

Through United Way of Greater Houston’s Integrated Client Journey, household income increased by an average of 41% after one year of Navigation!

Behind that number are real people working toward a more financially stable future. With support from dedicated Navigators, our neighbors are building plans around their goals and connecting to resources that help them overcome barriers along the way.

This is what meaningful progress looks like. Together, we're helping more Greater Houston neighbors move beyond getting by, so they can land on their feet -- and stay there.

📟💿 Talk about a blast from the past! Our United Way of Greater Houston affinity groups took it back to the ’90s for an evening of nostalgia, friendly competition and giving back! 💚

Members of our Women’s Initiative, LINC, Young Leaders and Stay United came together to test their knowledge of ’90s music, movies, television and more, while showing off their best throwback looks! 🦋

Before trivia kicked off, attendees assembled 512 classroom supply bags during a volunteer activity sponsored by H-E-B . The bags will be distributed through our United Way centers to local agencies, helping teachers restock their classrooms before the holiday break.

🏆 Congratulations to “We Oughta Know,” our Young Leaders trivia champions, and Bridget Johnson, Women’s Initiative Steering Committee member, for winning best ’90s outfit with her Clueless-inspired look!

Special thanks to James Crandall, Young Leaders Co-Chair, for hosting the trivia competition, and to everyone who made the evening a success!

There’s something special about what happens when women come together with a shared purpose! 💚

Our United Way Women’s Initiative members and guests gathered for a beautiful afternoon of conversation and connection, united by a shared goal: connecting more Greater Houston neighbors to possibility.

That collective commitment is making a difference! Last campaign year, Women’s Initiative raised an incredible $5.9 million, helping impact the lives of more than 85,000 of our Greater Houston neighbors.

The afternoon also featured an intimate fireside chat between Emmy Award-winning journalist and former KPRC 2 news anchor Linda Lorelle and United Way of Greater Houston President and Chief Advancement Officer Dr. Angel Harris.

This campaign year, we’re growing our community of changemakers with an exciting goal: becoming 1,000 women strong!💪💚

There’s room for you to be part of what’s next! Join a network of women who are passionate about strengthening our community and creating brighter futures across Greater Houston.
