Attorney Hugh M Ray III, a member of the state bar associations of Texas and New Mexico, practices law as a board-certified business bankruptcy specialist at Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman in Houston, Texas. Outside of his professional work, Hugh Ray III supports charitable organizations including the Houston Young Lawyer’s Foundation and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
Founded in 1932, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo provides family-friendly entertainment that showcases Western heritage and traditions. A philanthropic organization, the rodeo advocates for agricultural causes and has provided more than $450 million to Texas youth and educational efforts.
One educational effort supported by the rodeo is the School Art Program. Founded 50 years ago, the program allows students from more than 135 school districts to participate in art competitions. To foster artistic growth, participants also have access to art workshops at the Houston Museum of Fine Art’s Glassel School of Art and Schreiner University’s Western Art Academy.
In addition to art competitions and workshops, the School Art Program features a scholarship component, with $20,000 in collegiate scholarships awarded to 15 high school students annually. For additional information on the School Art Program, visit rodeohouston.com.
