Weatherford and Partners Raise More than $370,000 in 2019 for Houston Non-Profits
Nearly $2 Million Raised Since Inaugural 2014 Charitable Event
HOUSTON, Nov. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Weatherford International plc (OTC-PINK:WFTIQ) and partners raised and donated more than $370,000 to four Houston-area non-profit organizations as a result of the 2019 edition of their annual Weatherford Walks event, held November 9. The proceeds will be shared equally between the Houston Area Women's Center, Camp Hope, Small Steps Nurturing Center, and Spindletop Charities.

Camp Hope provides peer support, mentoring services, and housing for veterans and their families suffering from combat-related post-traumatic stress disorder.
