When your child is diagnosed with cancer, your world crashes. Everything changes. Instead of play dates, it`s doctor appointments. Instead of the playground, it’s the waiting room.
Our employee-owners at Branch worked with @rocsolidfoundation. Their mission is to build hope for families fighting pediatric cancer. Roc Solid provides families with a Ready Pack on the day of diagnosis. It includes everything a family may need in those first few months – a Fire tablet, deck of cards, games, and activities that will keep the child engaged and entertained as mom and dad talk to doctors and nurses.
We’re moms and dads, too. And we want to give families facing pediatric cancer the hope and care they deserve. ...

Celebrating Women in Construction Week starts with one powerful idea: GIRLS CAN DO IT, TOO! A study in the Journal of Women and Minorities in Science and Engineering shows that early exposure to STEM boosts confidence, breaks down stereotypes, and opens doors to rewarding careers in construction. Let’s keep inspiring the next generation of women to build, lead, and innovate in this industry. ...
