I want to encourage everyone to come and help us celebrate the bright future of Brownsville. Thanks to our corporate sponsors, InSouth Bank, WesTN Bank, Blue Oval City Ford, Blue Oval SK, Conner Real Estate and community partners Westlake, CoolKids.Org, Boys & Girls Club, Haywood County School District, and the City of Brownsville, we are able to build a better Brownsville together.”

We created this educational program to close the wealth gap and empower families and communitieslike Brownsville,” said Dr. Marlon “Doc” Fuller, co-founder and executive director of Family Wealth Summit Foundation and CoolKids.Org.
