WoodCreek Reserve raised $6,439 for the Katy High School Student Council during its 2008 Custom Showcase of Homes. Katy High School students volunteered and worked at the 10 day showcase in exchange for the showcase proceeds. Over 2,200 people attended the event, which ran from April 10 - 21 and showcased seven custom homes in the new, gated section of WoodCreek Reserve; the Estates of WoodCreek.

The student council will use the money raised to attend a week long Leadership Camp this summer at Trinity University. “We were very excited to help with this event,” according to Katy High School’s Robin Cashman. “It was a great way to raise money for the kids.”
