Chris Huckabee - Philanthropy
When the foundation discussed who we would like to honor at our first Gala, Chris Huckabee was the first person we thought of.
Chris has been a major contributor to the Mansfield ISD Education Foundation for the past nine years. He is also a contributor to many other Education Foundations in the State of Texas where he does
business.
He continues to fund grants that have made a significant impact on the students in Mansfield ISD. He also is a major sponsor of the Academic Recognition Banquet that honors the top students in the district
and is a platinum sponsor for the Education Foundation golf tournament.
The MISD Education Foundation could not have chosen a more worthy person to honor.

Distinguished Scholars.
