To help the Lone Star State heal and rebuild in the aftermath of the catastrophic floods that devastated communities across Central Texas.

“Texas is family. When disaster strikes, we all have to step up. Scot and I wanted to do more than just donate. We wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with the people rebuilding their lives.”
Scot Ruskan echoed these sentiments:
“This is about more than money. It’s about heart, community, and resilience. Together, we’re helping Texas not just recover, but come back stronger.”
