DePelchin Children's Center logo

The Kinder’s Texas Bowl is dedicated to creating a lasting legacy and making a meaningful difference across the Lone Star State. The Bowl is proud to partner with DePelchin Children’s Center as its official charitable beneficiary.

Founded in 1892, DePelchin Children’s Center is the leading provider of foster care and adoption services, ensuring every child has a safe, loving, and permanent home. Its programs include counseling, parenting education, post-adoption support, and residential treatment—all aimed at strengthening families and improving the lives of children across the state of Texas.

The Kinder’s Texas Bowl has raised over $2 million for DePelchin Children’s Center, supporting children and families in need and strengthening communities throughout Texas.
