Happy Flag Day! 🇺🇸

Did you know? Today marks the anniversary of when the Second Continental Congress officially adopted the Stars and Stripes as our nation’s first flag in 1777, a symbol of freedom and unity that still stands strong today. ♥️🤍💙

Last week, our Chief Development Officer, Jamie, had the opportunity to celebrate and support local first responders during her community's First Responders Parade! 🚒

To make it even more meaningful, her daughters set up a lemonade stand and donated their proceeds to the local police department! A small act of kindness that makes a big impact and a great reminder that giving back starts early. 💙

We're so proud to see the spirit of service passed down to the next generation. Amazing job, Jamie! 🚑
