Today marked another successful year of our annual Beat the Heat event! ☀️🌬️
For more than 25 years, we have proudly partnered with TXU Energy to help keep our community cool during the scorching Texas summers. This year, we distributed 230 fans to 19 local nonprofit partners, who will help get them into the hands of those who need them most.
☀️🌬️Need a fan? Dial 211, Option 1 to get connected with available resources.

A special thank you to Silverthorne Insurance for providing the space for today's distribution, thank you to United Supermarkets / Market Street and Scouting American Texas Trails Council for volunteering and helping load fans, and a huge thank you to Kim Campbell and TXU Energy for their incredible partnership and commitment to serving our community year after year.

Together, we’re helping our neighbors stay safe and cool all summer long! ☀️ 💙
