Community leadership takes many forms, including choosing to invest in the people and organizations strengthening the place we call home.

We are grateful to recognize The Anders Family as a Champion Sponsor of the 2026 Community Keyholder Awards, presented by Fayette Savings Bank.

Their generous support helps us bring our community together to recognize the nonprofits, leaders, philanthropists, businesses, and advocates creating meaningful change throughout rural South Central Texas.

Thank you the Anders Family for helping us celebrate those who continue to open doors for others.

We look forward to celebrating with you on October 1.

The most effective solutions often come from the people closest to the challenge.

Across rural South Central Texas, community leaders, nonprofits, and donors are working together to address critical needs like access to mental health services.

Their work is creating real change, expanding resources, building partnerships, and helping ensure more people can access the support they need close to home.

The Community Keyholder Awards celebrate the changemakers who see a need and take action.

Join us as we recognize the leaders helping strengthen the future of our rural communities.

Reserve your table today.
