Another amazing sponsor of our golf tournament is Atmos Energy. They sponsored both breakfast and lunch! I’m sure there will be some rivalry between the two teams, but it’s all for an amazing cause - supporting our Brown County citizens through the nonprofits serving in education, income stability, and health.

Thank you Atmos Energy for your community support and giving back. We’re all going to eat well at the tournament too.

Still want to sign up for our September 13th tournament? We still have teams available. www.browncountyunitedway.com/golf or 325-261-3955.

One of United Way's focus areas is supporting education which makes us excited to have Howard Payne University as a sponsor for our tournament. As we work to strengthen education in Brown County, it elevates the community as a whole. We are thankful for partners in education working together to create solid foundations that encourage a lifetime of learning.
Thank you Howard Payne University for your support!

Citizens National Bank Brownwood Texas embodies the spirit of community with local banking solutions while supporting local non-profits, agencies, and organizations in Brown County, enabling the provision of grants to BCUW nonprofit partners. CNB, we appreciate your sponsorship and look forward to seeing your team on the course.

Brown County United Way and our partner non-profits are grateful for the generous support of First Watch Credit Union, as demonstrated through their Golf Ball Sponsorship and team donation to local law enforcement officers. This selfless act is a testament to their dedication to community service. We encourage others to follow their lead and register a team or become a sponsor by contacting us or visiting BrownCounty UnitedWay.com/golf.

Amazing supporters like Andy's Pest Troopers, Inc. truly help make Brown County a better place to live and work. Their sponsorship directly helps funds grants to non-profits serving our community.

We want to say a huge THANK YOU to United Supermarkets for being our presenting sponsor for our first Brown County United Way Golf Tournament.
On Friday, September 13, we will be hitting the course at Brownwood Country Club to raise money to give grants to nonprofit organizations serving Brown County.

Brownwood City Council approves Allcorn Park Project proposed by BMDD

Allcorn Park in Brownwood is set for a major upgrade, thanks to the approval Tuesday by the Brownwood City Council for a $225,000 park improvement project. The council also ratified the BMDD's cost at $125,000 to go for all inclusive equipment to be installed there.

In 2022, the ARC of Brown County donated $100,000 to the City of Brownwood to create an all-inclusive playground at Allcorn Park. Any additional funds over the combined $225,000 cost of the project will come from city coffers. The project will be paid for via the 2024-2025 budget year.
Parks and Recreation Director Roland Soto will be overseeing the project by working with the vendor to order the equipment.
The current playground equipment, which is at least 40 years old, will either be moved within the park or relocated to another city park.
The project could be completed by the fall of this year.
In other business Tuesday, the council approved a request to order a new fire engine by Fire Chief Eric Hicks, at a cost of almost $1 million. The turn-around time is about two years, Hicks said.
The council also approved a bid for just over $130,000 for the purchase of the new Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS). The city will receive about 90 percent reimbursement for the project paid for through a TxDOT Airport grant.

Last month, our executive director, Sarah Hoffman, met with 3M's plant manager, Russ Bryan to receive a donation of over $14,000 to unofficially kickstart the 2024 campaign season. 3M has consistently been a top donor to Brown County United Way and has a long history of dedication to supporting our partner agencies who serve Brown County. In addition to employee contributions and company matches, 3M raises funds by auctioning up front parking spaces to their employees. It's a fun way for employees to get involved and contribute.

Would you like to make a donation of your own? If your employer doesn't participate in a United Way campaign or you want to make an immediate donation, you can do so at https://secure.givelively.org/donate/brown-county-united-way.
