For the past 8 years, employees, Agents and Leaders of USHA have come together annually to celebrate and honor, Connor McQuagge. Affectionately know as Conner’s Crew, this group sets out to help change and impact the lives of financially disadvantaged youth in Southwest Florida, Arizona and Texas.

In early June, over 20 kids (age 16 and younger) were sponsored to participate in the Boca Grande Tarpon Tournament for a once in a lifetime fishing experience. Many of these boys and girls would never have this opportunity and some even made their first catch!

In addition to the fishing tournament, Conner’s Crew donated over $30,000 to Kids’ Needs of Greater Englewood. Since it’s inception, they have donated over $300,000 in memory of Conner through Conner’s Crew.

Hill Country Community Ministries is dedicated to supporting individuals and families facing tough times and financial challenges. Their goal is simple: to restore dignity and empower self-sufficiency.
