We're so back. 🎤⚡️

Rhythm & Brews returns September 17, and if you know, you know. One of the most talked-about nights of the year is back and bigger than ever.

Watch local community leaders step out of the boardroom and into the spotlight for a karaoke showdown with bold performances, unexpected song choices and main-character energy all night long.

From pool days and splash pads to lake trips and summer camps, kids will spend plenty of time around the water in the months ahead.

A few simple steps can help make a big difference in water safety:
💙 Wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket
💙 Designate a "water watcher"
💙 Ask camps about their water safety plans
💙 Enroll children in swim lessons

Water safety starts with all of us. By staying alert and taking precautions, we can help ensure every child enjoys a summer full of fun, confidence and safe memories.

A safe, stable home is more than a place to live. It's a foundation for opportunity.

When families have an affordable place to call home, they are better positioned to build financial stability, pursue career goals and create a brighter future for themselves and their children.

That's why we're proud to support Waco Habitat for Humanity through grants. Through affordable homeownership, financial education and support during the homebuying journey, Waco Habitat for Humanity helps families gain the tools and confidence they need to build long-term stability and strengthen our community.

United, we're helping more families build a strong foundation for the future. 💙
