Derricks & Diamonds is a charity softball tournament benefiting Texas Children's Hospital Charity Care Program and Cancer Center. Organized by National Oilwell Varco and Schlumberger, the tournament is a result of the companies teaming up in an effort to unite the Oil and Gas Industry around an event focused on fighting pediatric cancer.
Derricks & Diamonds goes beyond the facets of an ordinary softball tourney by providing an exciting and unique atmosphere for all who participate and attend. The tournament's overarching goal is to remain a beacon of hope within the energy industry, an annual community event that all employees and their families can be proud of. The primary beneficiary and sole recipient of all donations is Texas Children's Hospital, one of the largest freestanding pediatric hospitals in the United States.
Our employees and the gracious support of other donors have made this one of the premiere charity events in the Oil and Gas Industry. This tournament has been a long and encouraging journey for us in giving back to our communities. We hope to continue that growth, both in donations and company participation, and invite all associated with our industry to be part of this effort to make our children's world a better place to be.
Texas Children's Hospital
Texas Children's Hospital (TCH) is the largest freestanding pediatric hospital in the United States and ranked among the Nations top three pediatric cancer institutions by U.S. News & World Report. TCH is dedicated to providing the finest pediatric patient care, education, and research. Consistent with the mission of its founding fathers, TCH provides care to any sick or injured child regardless of race, creed, or ability to pay.
Snowdrop Foundation
Snowdrop Foundation's mission statement is assisting patients and families at Texas Children's Cancer Center through funding for continued research to eliminate childhood cancer and scholarships for college bound pediatric cancer patients and survivors. Therefore, Derricks & Diamonds discovered Snowdrop Foundation to be the ideal primary beneficiary of its raffle and silent auction.
