In recent years, the H.O.I.S.T. has evolved into Houston's premier oilfield sporting clays tournament, offering participants two days of shooting, socializing, food, fun and prizes. Signa President Bob Davis participated in this year’s tournament, as well as Senior Vice President Dave Roseland. Jim Prestidge of Halliburton was a host at the tournament and invited Signa shooters to join in the event.

With the help of current and previous support from companies such as Signa Engineering, MI Drilling Fluids, El Paso Corporation, Pride International, Smith International, Tri-Drill/Knight Fishing, Louisiana International Marine and G&J Land & Marine, the two-day tournament raises money for The Children's Assessment Center Foundation (CACF).

Since its inception, H.O.I.S.T. has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to The Children's Assessment Center as a result of the continued support of local oil & gas companies and their employees.

"We are grateful to H.O.I.S.T. for their incredible generosity," said Elaine Stolte, Executive Director of The Center. "With their help, the Center has remained one of the largest advocacy centers of its kind in the United States and is known both nationally and internationally as a model program for the multi-disciplinary team approach in the prevention, assessment, and treatment of child sexual abuse.

“Thanks to H.O.I.S.T., we will continue turning the sadness and heartbreak of sexually abused children into smiles and trusting hugs," said Stolte.

Located in Rice Village, the Children's Assessment Center was founded in 1991 to address the needs of sexually abused children and their families in Harris County. It is a unique public/private partnership between Harris County Commissioners Court and The Children's Assessment Center Foundation.

Working with its 15 partner agencies including law enforcement, social workers, medical and mental health professionals, all co-housed in a 56,000 square foot facility, the Center provides the highest quality care for sexually abused children.

The CACF is funded by contributions from foundations, corporations, organizations and individuals. For more information on the Children’s Assessment Center, please call Barbara Grace at 713-986-3483. For more information about Signa Engineering, contact Patrick Reynolds at 281-774-3110 or send .
