June is a wonderful time to celebrate the kind of community spirit that reminds us how much good exists in the world. This month, we are sharing a story that proves kindness has no age limit and that one act of generosity can change everything.

At Louisa County High School in Virginia, a group of teenage automotive students spend their semesters doing something truly remarkable. Instead of simply learning how to repair cars in an insulated classroom, they restore donated vehicles and give them away to single parents in need of reliable transportation. In partnership with the nonprofit Giving Words, the program has given away over 60 cars and repaired more than 260, one garage door reveal at a time.

For recipients like Jessica Rader, a single mom of three, the gift was far more than a set of wheels. It opened the door to full-time work, independence, and peace of mind. These students’ actions are a wonderful reminder of the lasting impacts that acts of kindness can have on our communities.

June is National Fireworks Safety Month — a perfect time to plan summer celebrations that are fun and safe. Fireworks are exciting, but they also contribute to thousands of emergency room visits and fires each year.

While small displays put on near the home often seem safe, small fireworks can still pose a serious safety risk. However, there are plenty of ways to celebrate safely this summer. This can include laser light shows, drone displays, festive block parties, glow sticks, and confetti poppers.

It’s important to remember that even with precautions, accidents can still happen. Now is a good time to check in on your coverage and make sure you understand your liability basics heading into the season.

June is Men's Health Month, and there is no better time to encourage you or the men in your life to take advantage of preventive screenings included with their health care coverage. Preventive screenings are among the most powerful tools for early detection of serious illnesses, and catching something early can make all the difference.

Here are some key screenings and wellness checks worth knowing about and at what age they start:

✅ Cholesterol checks - These key preventive screenings should start at 17 to monitor heart health and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. They’re recommended every four to six years.
✅ Diabetes screening - Diabetes screenings are recommended to begin at age 35 and every three years after, or earlier if risk factors are present, such as family history or being overweight.
✅ Prostate cancer screening - Men should start receiving regular prostate cancer screenings with their doctor, typically starting around age 50, or earlier for those with higher risk factors.
✅ Colorectal cancer screening - For men, a colonoscopy is recommended starting at age 45 for those with average risk and should be repeated every 10 years. The frequency of screening may increase based on your doctor’s assessment of your risk level.
✅ General mental health screening - These screenings are often conducted at annual checkups, at any age. They are a good time to speak openly with your provider about anxiety, depression, or any changes in your mood.

Every man's health journey looks different, so it’s best to talk with your doctor about which screenings are right for your age, history, and lifestyle.
