We are still wrapping our minds and hearts around last night's event. Thank you to everyone who showed up and gave generously.

Together, we raised $68,000!

Thank you to our incredible planning team, Lofthouse Films for this inspiring video, our sponsors who believe in us, our staff that helped our kids practice and feel ready for their performances, the best BF parents and mentors, and a room filled with people who show up every year.

HE is worthy of all the glory.

The Power of Connection This is "The Power of Connection" by Lofthouse Films on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

As we gathered for our end-of-year cookout for our teens, I found myself reflecting on what makes the Brandon Foundation so special. What started as a community has become so much more—it has become chosen family.

Life isn't meant to be lived alone, and one of the greatest gifts God gives us is people to walk alongside us through every season. At the Brandon Foundation, we don't just show up for events; we show up for each other. We celebrate victories, carry one another through challenges, share laughter, offer encouragement, and grow together in faith.

This year has been filled with memories, milestones, and moments that reminded us of God's faithfulness. Around the tables, by the food, and in every conversation, there was a beautiful reminder that family isn't always defined by blood…sometimes it's defined by love, commitment, and the decision to do life together.

I am so grateful for every person who makes this community what it is. Thank you for your friendship, your support, your prayers, and your willingness to be part of something bigger than yourselves. Through every season, we continue to trust God's plan and lean on one another as we grow.

As we close out another year, my heart is full. The Brandon Foundation is more than an organization—it's a family built on faith, connection, and a shared belief that we are stronger when we walk together.

Here's to the memories we've made, the lives we've touched, and the journey God still has ahead for us all.

Love,

Miss Caty

Thank you Bippus State Bank for your generous donation to the Brandon Foundation. We cannot express how much it means to us that the banks we trust are willing to sponsor our community!

Bippus State Bank was founded in 1911 in a small rural community of Bippus, Indiana, establishing bank services to the community. After celebrating 100 years of service, they are dedicating the next 100 years to remaining an independent community bank. They believe that being a small bank means staying true to their roots, not just serving the community, but being a part of the community they serve. Banking with Bippus means banking with confidence, and feeling empowered to achieve financial goals.

Thank you Bippus State Bank for all you do for the communities you serve! You are a part of our BF family, sharing values in building confidence and empowerment!
