HOUSTON, November 11, 2024 – Weatherford International plc (NASDAQ: WFRD) (“Weatherford” or the “Company”) and partners raised $500,000 in donations for four Houston area non-profit organizations through the Company’s annual Weatherford Walks event, which was recently held at the Houston Zoo. The proceeds will be shared equally among the Houston Area Women’s Center, Camp Hope, Small Steps Nurturing Center, and Child Advocates. Since 2014, the event has raised nearly $4 million for the Houston community.

Each of these Houston-based charities provide life-changing services for individuals across the Houston community:

  • The Houston Area Women’s Center helps individuals affected by domestic and sexual violence in their efforts to move their lives forward.
  • Camp Hope provides peer support, mentoring services, and housing for veterans and their families who have combat-related post-traumatic stress disorder.
  • Small Steps Nurturing Center is dedicated to the social, emotional, physical, intellectual, and spiritual growth of economically at-risk children and their families.
  • Child Advocates recruits, trains, and supports volunteers who provide a voice for children in foster care. As Harris County’s Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) program, they provide lifesaving advocacy that helps abused and neglected children exit foster care to a safe, permanent home as quickly as possible.

“I am incredibly proud of the impact we've made through Weatherford Walks," said Girish Saligram, President and CEO of Weatherford. "It’s a distinct privilege to witness the generosity of our employees, sponsors, and families. This is the epitome of what Weatherford stands for—an indomitable spirit that drives us in our daily operations and inspires us to give back to the communities we serve. We remain dedicated to supporting charitable organizations in making a difference around the world.”

Weatherford employees and trusted business partners made generous monetary donations in support of the recipient organizations. Sponsors who supported the 2024 Weatherford Walks event include:

  • Diamond: BakerHostetler; King & Spalding; Staging Solutions - Events & Experiences and PRG EMEA
  • Platinum: Birlasoft; ECS-Engineered Custom Solutions; Omnitech Engineering Pvt. Ltd.; PwC
