CAZ Investments: North Carolina Disaster Relief
We are asking our Network to partner with us to help people in need.
Our Chairman, Christopher Zook and his wife Lisa, have become very attached to the community in northwest North Carolina, which was devastated by Hurricane Helene. Many people in the area have lost family members, their homes, and most of their possessions. The common phrase that has been used to describe the destruction is “of biblical proportion.”
Words cannot properly describe what has happened to the people there and Lisa and Christopher have agreed to match at least $250,000 of contributions to help these communities get back on their feet.
The CAZ Investments and Celebrate By Lisa Lou Charitable Giving Fund
All donations will be made to a 501c3 via a special account set up at the Greater Houston Community Foundation (“GHCF”), called the CAZ Investments and Celebrate By Lisa Lou Charitable Giving Fund. Lisa and Christopher will personally oversee the distribution of 100% of the amount received to various qualified local charities in northwest North Carolina.
Donors will receive a receipt directly from GHCF in the amount of their gift, which should be tax deductible for donors. Please see the attached file that contains the various ways in which people can give. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or need assistance.
We would really appreciate everyone making their donation before December 1st, so we can lift the spirits of those impacted as they enter the holiday season.
We talk about the Power of the Network is the Network, and this is a way we can collectively make a very tangible impact on the people whose lives have been upended by the hurricane.
Thank you for your partnership,
The CAZ Investments Team
