Well. Helene has passed most of the south.

Just want to make sure you’re all ok. And didn’t end up with any… unusual… fish in your yard/home/pool.

Be careful out there, and be smart with potentially misplaced exotic wildlife!

But in all seriousness. We hope everyone is safe and sound and staying dry.

In yet another amazing display of just *incredible* our fans are…

We had 3,353 unique Donors give 8,607 blood products to our partners at LifeSouth Community Blood Centers. This is, undoubtedly, one of the most impactful gifts our fans give to the region every year.

Thousands of lives saved… year after year after year… because of our amazing community.

Good work, family!
