Supporting Texas Youth & Education
Home
Ladies Into Purchasing Stock, LIPS, established in 1992, is a ladies buying group at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo™ (HLS&R™). Our mission is to raise money to support the youth of Texas in their educational, agricultural, and artistic endeavors. Our goal is to make every child feel as if they are a grand champion winner.
LIPS is a 501(c)(3) organization in which contributions/donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law. Funds raised, less expenses, are given back to the HLS&R™ through their various programs.
Since its inception, LIPS has raised almost $3 million through yearly fundraising events. Because of these outstanding efforts, LIPS is proud to be one of the original members, and the first buyers group, to reach the $1 million mark of the HLS&R™ Silver Spur Club.
