Spindletop Charities, Inc., also known as Spindletop International, is a 501 ©(3) corporation established by Loy D. “Butch” Griffin in 1966. It was launched to fulfill the founder’s mission to build an organization that promotes fellowship and goodwill within the gas and oil industry, and at the same time, providing assistance to children and youth in need.

Griffin has successfully built a solid reputation for the organization. Even after his death in 1984, Spindletop was able to survive the challenges and difficulties faced by the industry in the middle of the 1980s. Spindletop continued to rise despite the hardships and became a stronger institution in the process.

Spindletop has already sent assistance during various events in the past. In October 2008, they have prepared and brought food to families affected by hurricane Katrina in Liberty County, Texas. Today, the organization continues to share significant contributions with youth charities in different areas. In 2012, it has contributed around $1.3 million to the Houston area charities for the youth.
