Joe's Run Supporting Samaritan House of Fort Worth
Colonial employees enjoyed some fun in the sun at the annual Joe's Run 5k and 10k race at the beautiful Magnolia on the Green in Fort Worth. Colonial has served as a sponsor of Joe's Run for a number of years, which benefits Samaritan House of Fort Worth, whose mission is to "create a supportive community, providing housing and resources for positive change in the lives of persons living with HIV/AIDS and other special needs."
Later in June, the Colonial Savings Foundation was happy to present a donation to Samaritan House to support their wonderful organization.

Pride Month
As part of Colonial's ongoing Diversity Month Celebrations, we celebrated June as LGBT Pride Month. June
was chosen as Pride Month to commemorate the Stonewall riots that occurred at the end of June 1969.On Friday, June 22, employees wore rainbow colors in support of the LGBT community.
It was a great month of June for us at Colonial. We are fortunate to be able to give back to communities we serve.
