As we ring in a new year, I want to thank each of you for helping make 2025 an extraordinary year of impact.
Because many of you chose to include the newly introduced optional $25 donation during membership renewal, the Foundation is positioned to do even more in 2026 and beyond. Your generosity truly fuels our mission.
We were honored to receive a $10,000 award from the U.S. LBM Foundation for the third consecutive year, and our annual Cornhole Tournament raised more than $7,000 to support our community initiatives.
This year, the HBACF donated 460 smoke detectors to local fire districts and awarded three $1,500 scholarships—one each to students from Missouri State University, Ozarks Technical Community College, and Drury University.
Thank you for your continued support and belief in the good we can accomplish together. Here’s to another year of serving and strengthening our community.
With appreciation,
Ryan Couts
President, HBA Charitable Foundation
