For over 20 years now, we've been proud supporters of the YMCA of the Shoals, and their annual Y Golf Tournament. What started as a sponsorship with my dad showcasing our great North Alabama Athletics teams has turned into one of the great honors of the year for me.

The funds raised help our Y provide affordable childcare, programs for those with special needs, and scholarship programming for families from every walk of life in our area. This is what a State Farm Neighborhood of Good looks like!!!

This year, Coach Jad Prachniak and the North Alabama Baseball coaching staff stepped-up and let 'em know what time it is!
Thanks fellas, and ROAR LIONS! 🦁⚾️

😊 I'm excited to share some good news!

State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company (State Farm Mutual) is returning $5 billion to qualifying auto customers through the largest dividend in company history!

If you had a qualifying policy in 2025, your check should be on the way soon (and may already be in the mailbox so don’t throw it away!) The dollar amount you receive will depend on your eligible premium paid last year.

This dividend is possible because of State Farm Mutual's financial strength and stronger than expected financial performance. As a mutual company without shareholders, State Farm Mutual is built to serve policyholders and can provide value directly to you.

You don't need to take further action to receive your dividend, but if you have questions, give us a call!!!

🇺🇸 1776: Best. Win. Ever.

250 years ago, a group of brave individuals got together for a common cause. The idea of a free and independent nation, built on faith and family, was something the world needed and they took their shot.

And won.

We are the fortunate result, still resolved to the common goal of doing things the right way, for the right reasons. May their vision, and our country endure forever.

Happy Independence Day from our State Farm family to yours!

Have a blast y'all! 🎆
