COMETS: Comets in the Community

Comets in the Community

Posted Apr 3 2008 7:20PM

The Houston Comets are committed to giving back to the community. The Comets generously donate various items to charitable organizations throughout Texas on a regular basis. These items are exclusively for auctions, raffles, and incentive programs and provide support in the areas of basketball, education, health and fitness.

Time permitting, the Comets are also available for local appearances promoting the WNBA’s Read to Achieve program, Be Smart – Be Yourself initiative, speaking about women in sports and sending positive messages with words of encouragement.
