$500 Will Be Donated to Charity for Every Home Sold During September
The Howard Hughes Corporation® (NYSE: HHC) is pleased to announce that its Houston area communities — Bridgeland®, the No. 1 selling master planned community in Texas, and The Woodlands Hills®, another award-winning master planned community — will each launch its Fall Giving Drive on September 1, lasting all month.
For each new home sold at one of these award-winning communities during this period, The Howard Hughes Corporation will donate $500 on behalf of the buyer to one of the following charities selected by the buyer: Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, YES to YOUTH, HomeAid Houston, Montgomery County Food Bank and Cy-Fair Educational Foundation. During a time of record home sales, the charitable effort gives homebuyers the opportunity to make a positive impact in the Greater Houston region while finding a new home.
Since inception, The Howard Hughes Corporation has been an active philanthropist in the Greater Houston area, donating annually to over 130 causes of local non-profit organizations. Community-focused philanthropy is a guiding principle in the company’s corporate social responsibility program, HHCares, through financial donations and volunteerism.

This year’s Fall Giving Drive will also have 100% of the homebuilders in Bridgeland and The Woodlands Hills as well as some Realtor® partners donating to the selected charities, providing an even greater impact for the charities and the meaningful work they do.
