Wolfies Gives back!
"We must become the change we want to see in the world." Mahatma Gandhi
Each month, Wolfies chooses and organization or cause to raise funds for and bring awareness to by holding drives or fundraisers. We feel that it is important to give back to the community that has given so much to us.

Alzheimer’s Association: Trunk or Treat Fundraiser (Spring Branch Location)
Wolfies Spring Branch turned Halloween into a moment of giving by hosting a Trunk or Treat event in support of the Alzheimer’s Association. Families arrived in their best costumes, ready to trick-or-treat and enjoy a night filled with spooky fun. Through donations and community participation, we raised funds to aid Alzheimer’s research and support programs for those affected by the disease. This event was a reminder that small acts of kindness—like sharing a sweet treat—can contribute to a larger mission of hope and support. We’re proud to stand with the Alzheimer’s Association in the fight against this disease.
Avondale House – Betsy’s Bingo Night
In September, Wolfies Gives Back proudly partnered with Avondale House, a nonprofit dedicated to serving individuals with autism through education and support programs. To raise funds for this incredible organization, we hosted a lively Bingo fundraiser at Betsy’s in Evelyn’s Park. Families and friends gathered for an evening of fun, playing Bingo with $1 cards, enjoying great company, and supporting a meaningful cause. Through this event, we were able to contribute to Avondale House’s mission, helping provide essential resources for those they serve. Together, we are building a more inclusive and supportive community, one game at a time!
Dress for Success 2024
The mission of Dress for Success is to empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire, and the development tools to help women thrive in work and in life.
In March of 2024, we held a clothing drive and asked our families to donate their gently used, women’s professional dress ware. Our families did not hold back. Over the month we were able to collect a full rack of clothes for the women at Dress for Success!
Hope Floats 2024
Wolfies Gives Back was thrilled to host our 9th annual Hope Floats fundraiser for the month of May. This fundraiser benefited Hope Floats Foundation, an organization that gives swimming scholarships to low income families, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to learn vital water safety skills. All funds are earmarked for families to come and swim with Wolfies on a Hope Floats scholarship. To support this noble cause, we organized a delightful bake sale, engaged our community with a thrilling 50/50 Raffle, and offered a free swim day where families could enjoy our facilities. Through these fundraising efforts, we are able to raise over $500 and extend the gift of swimming, fostering safety, confidence, and enduring friendships within our Wolfies family. Join us in making a difference, one splash at a time!

I Support the Girls
In the month of April, Wolfies partnered with I Support the Girls, a nonprofit organization providing feminine hygiene products to women in need. Wolfies Bellaire hosted a drive for new and gently used bras, new underwear, and feminine hygiene products. The response from the local community was overwhelming.
The Wolfies Family came together, bringing their donations and sharing stories of why they felt compelled to contribute. The success of the initiative was a testament to the power of community action and empathy. This partnership not only provided tangible support but also ignited a sense of solidarity and hope. It reminded everyone involved that even small acts of kindness could create a ripple effect, making a significant difference in the lives of others.
Kids Meals Houston 2024
This past June, Wolfies proudly hosted a community drive in support of Kids Meals Houston, a remarkable nonprofit dedicated to providing nutritious lunches to children who might otherwise go without. Wolfies participated in their Juice Box Challenge, collecting 100% juice boxes for the foundation. Our entire Wolfies family came together, reflecting our deep-seated commitment to giving back and fostering a sense of community and care beyond the pool. Through generous donations and enthusiastic participation, we were able to contribute significantly to work towards a world where no child goes hungry. This initiative not only highlighted our values of friendship and support but also reinforced the importance of extending a helping hand to those in need. At Wolfies, we believe that fostering a caring community both in and out of the water, helps us all swim a little stronger.
Kids Meals Houston: Trunk or Treat Fundraiser (Bellaire Location)
Halloween at Wolfies was more than just costumes and candy—it was an opportunity to make a difference! In October, our Bellaire location hosted a Trunk or Treat event benefiting Kids Meals Houston, a nonprofit dedicated to delivering nutritious meals to children facing food insecurity. Families joined in the festive fun, enjoying creatively decorated trunks, spooky treats, and exciting activities, all while supporting a vital cause. Donations collected at the event helped provide meals to children in need, reinforcing our commitment to giving back. At Wolfies, we believe that every child deserves a full stomach and a happy heart!
NOVEMBER & DECEMBER 2023: WOLFIES’ SEASON OF GIVING
For this Wolfies’ Season of Giving, in honor of their late niece Scout, we have nominated a Wolfies Family to emphasize the importance of water safety. We will shower the Owens Family with Holiday Cheer and fulfill their Christmas wish list.
Pilgrim Academy 2024 School Supply Drive
For the months of July & August, Wolfies was proud to host a school supply drive for Pilgrim Academy, a local Title I school. Our community came together in an incredible display of generosity, donating everything from notebooks and pencils to glue sticks and crayons. Our goal was to ensure that every student at Pilgrim Academy started the school year with the tools they needed for success. Thank you Wolfies Families for your amazing and continued support.
Season of Giving 2024
The holiday season is a time for warmth, generosity, and coming together as a community. Each year, Wolfies Swim School selects a family in need to support through our Season of Giving initiative. In 2024, we continued this cherished tradition by fulfilling the Taylor family’s Christmas wish list. Our Wolfies family came together to spread joy, ensuring that the holiday spirit was felt by those who needed it most. At Wolfies, we believe that giving back isn’t just seasonal—it’s a core part of who we are.
Children’s Heart Foundation Swimathon 2024
The Children’s Heart Foundation is dedicated to advancing the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of congenital heart defects by funding the most promising research.
We had a blast at our annual Children’s Heart Foundation Swimathon! During the months of January and February our team raised money for The Children’s Heart Foundation through raffle ticket sales. We were able to raise over $3,000 for the foundation through our raffle ticket sales!
During the Swimathon, our students got to showcase their swim skills to their families as well as play in a free swim. While our students were waiting for their turn to swim, we mini festival outside filled with vendors to keep our families occupied. The fan favorites were the Chick Fil A booth and our Bubble DJ!
Do You Need Financial Support For Swim Lessons?
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy the water.
At Wolfies Swim School, we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to learn how to swim, regardless of their financial situation. To support this belief, we have established a robust scholarship program designed to offer free or subsidized swim lessons to individuals and families who cannot afford them. Our aim is to ensure that financial barriers do not prevent anyone from acquiring this essential life skill. Through community donations, fundraising events, and partnerships with local organizations, we gather resources to fund these scholarships, making swim education accessible to all.
