Jon & Jackie Hodges
Founders
Jon & Jackie are well acquainted with the values it takes to succeed in life and the benefits a higher education can provide.
Jon’s focus on charitable causes began in the early 2000’s. After founding Evergreen Industrial Services and growing the company from a regional contractor into a nation-wide diversified industrial service provider. Jon knows first-hand the hard work and dedication it takes to succeed in business and has a passion for helping others achieve their full potential through these values. As a firm believer in education, Jon is dedicated to helping our youth succeed and easing the burden many face in the pursuit of higher education.
Born in Germany, Jackie did not learn to speak English until kindergarten. Her family moved to the U.S. when she was 7 years old. She was the first member of her family to attend college where she earned a B.S. in Finance from the University of Houston. Jackie experienced first-hand the challenges faced by first generation college bound students when financial or other difficulties arise that can put a strain on continuing education. Because of her experiences, Jackie has been passionate about easing the burden faced by many of our youth in the pursuit of higher education.

Since starting my adventure at Evergreen I was not quite sure where it was going to take me. However, I can now say that it was one of the best moves I’ve made. Not only has it shown me that anyone can have a bright future, but also that there is so much you can do for others. The Jon & Jacqueline Hodges Charitable Organization has given back so much to our community and I am so grateful to be a part of this organization!

I’ve been a part of Evergreen and the Bike Rally since the beginning in 2004. It is amazing how much we have grown from a group of 10 bikes to now over 600. I am so grateful to be a part of the Jon & Jacqueline Hodges Charitable Organization. Giving back to the community is one of the greatest feelings. When we get to see first-hand all the lives we have touched over the years, it really makes all the behind-the-scenes hard work completely worth it.
