The Mary Jane Hamilton Con Dios Foundation was created in 2004. Its mission is to do good works for Texas youth in honor and memory of Mary Jane Hamilton. Currently the foundation funds five $1,500 awards annually and purchases steers and poultry at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
We are a recognized 501c(3) public charity as identified by the State of Texas and the IRS.
To date, the Mary Jane Hamilton Con Dios Foundation has purchased steers for over $200,000 at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo’s Junior Market Steer Auction since 2004. We were especially thrilled to purchase our first champion steer at the 2006 steer auction and have been fortunate enough to continue doing so each year since then. However, we get the most satisfaction from buying low end steers toward to the end of the auction. We know that our steer-buying dollars do a world of good for our Texas youth.. In addition, for the last four years we have awarded $37,500 to individual hard-luck recipients, students who were unable to show due to unforeseen events.
Our continued support in the community relies on your charity. Please help if you can.
