Publix Charities Aids Texas Flood Victims With $300,000 Donation
In response to the recent deadly flash floods that devastated parts of Texas, Publix Super Markets Charities (PSMC) has pledged $300,000 to assist relief and recovery efforts. The funds will be directed to the San Angelo Disaster Relief Fund and the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund. Although the affected regions lie outside Publix’s regular operating areas, the organization felt a strong sense of responsibility to act.
Publix Charities Executive Director John Doran said, “We extend our sympathies to the families that have been devastated by the loss of life and damage caused by the recent flash floods in Texas. While the devastation is outside Publix’s operating area, we are very familiar with how natural disasters can affect a community and feel compelled to help.”
The donation will go toward community foundations that are partnering with local organizations on the ground. Publix’s tradition of giving dates back to its founder, George Jenkins, who established the foundation in 1966 with the belief that generosity should be an enduring part of the company’s mission. That legacy continues today, with Publix’s latest act of generosity helping to make a difference for lives in need.

HOKA Unveils 2025 Campaign to Celebrate Progress Through Community
HOKA®, a subsidiary of Deckers Brands, recently launched its 2025 global brand campaign on July 10, 2025. The campaign, “Together We Fly Higher,” emphasizes the powerful role of community in the journey of personal and athletic growth. Designed to resonate with runners of all levels, the campaign highlights how encouragement from others helps fuel individual progress. Launching globally, the campaign will be showcased through a diverse mix of media, including connected TV, digital platforms, social media, and outdoor advertising, reflecting HOKA’s commitment to inclusivity and inspiration across a broad spectrum of runners.
HOKA VP of Global Marketing Erika Gabrielli said, “As a brand driven by the joy of progress, we recognize the role community plays in the long road athletes take to achieve greatness. ‘Together We Fly Higher’ is about just that - celebrating the journey and those who got you there. Our individual progress is fuelled by the collective. This campaign puts a spotlight on humans supporting humans, and how this principle empowers us to push past our limits.”
The centerpiece of the campaign is an anthem film and a series of compelling short stories that capture real, emotional moments shared between runners and their support networks, whether it’s family, friends, or training crews. The first two short films, “Together: Ultra Commitment” and “Together: Quiet Rituals,” offer an intimate look into the lives of runners, revealing the discipline, vulnerability, and resilience behind every stride. These stories serve as a tribute to the unspoken bonds that power athletes to move beyond limits and embrace the joy of connection through sport.
