Partners in Progress: Counseling Paid Forward

In recognition of World Mental Health Day on October 10, The George Foundation is proud to highlight Counseling Paid Forward, a community initiative helping remove financial barriers to mental health care.

By expanding access to counseling services, Counseling Paid Forward helps individuals and families take meaningful steps toward healing, hope, and well-being.

Mental wellness matters to all of us. Sometimes support begins with something as simple as slowing down, sharing your story, listening, or spending meaningful time with the people around you.

A proud morning for The George Ranch at the Fort Bend County Fair Parade!

The George Ranch had the honor of leading Friday's parade as the 2026 Fort Bend County Fair Parade Grand Marshal, helping officially kick off the Fair’s 90th anniversary celebration.

Representing The Ranch were The George Foundation Trustees Mark Magee and Joe Zimmerman, George Ranch Executive Director Adrienne Barker, Ronda Rusk, The George Ranch Board member, along with Ranch cowboys and staff.

Leading the way was the Ranch’s beautifully restored Wagonette, joined by its generous donors, Sassy Stanton and Bill Pinckard, who rode in the parade as part of this special celebration.

For 90 years, the Fort Bend County Fair has brought generations together in support of agriculture, education, youth development, and community, making today’s honor especially meaningful.

Congratulations to the Fort Bend County Fair on 90 years, and thank you for allowing The George Ranch to help lead the celebration.

On this day in 1923, oil was discovered on The George Ranch.

The discovery of oil in the Big Creek and Thompsons fields created financial resources that would later help provide the initial funding for The George Foundation.

More than a century later, that legacy continues through TGF’s ongoing investment in the people and future of Fort Bend County.
