Cullman County
Local Roots
This page isn't about us. It's about the schools, the clinic, the coaches, and the neighbors who make Cullman County home, and the small part we get to play in it.
We're from here. This is what that looks like.
Cullman is a place where people trust who they know and who they've seen. Not who has the biggest sign on the highway. We understand that because we're part of it. Amanda grew up here and went to Good Hope, the same as her parents before her and her kids after her. We live here, raise our families here, and sit in the same bleachers you do on Friday nights.
So when we put our name on a scoreboard or serve on a board, it isn't a campaign. It's what you do when a place is home. Nobody's keeping score.
This page is where we keep up with the schools, clinics, and organizations we get to stand behind. Mostly it's here so the people doing the real work get the credit. If you're one of them and you have an idea, the door is open. You'll find how to reach us at the bottom.
In the schools
Schools are the heartbeat of Cullman County. Every family here has a tie to one, and most of us never really leave ours. We try to show up for as many as we can, in whatever way a school needs: a scoreboard, a gym floor, a team that needs uniforms, an athlete who needs a sponsor, or a classroom of seniors who need somebody to explain how the real world works.
Adulting 101 Day at Holly Pond High School
In March 2026, Holly Pond High School invited Amanda and Brian to be part of Ready to Rise, its senior readiness program. On what the school calls Adulting Day, they taught eight back-to-back sessions to every senior in the building on the legal basics you need to know at eighteen. It was one of the best days we had all year.
Cold Springs and across the county
We also support Cold Springs and other schools around Cullman County, and we'd like to do more. If you coach, teach, lead a band, or run a booster club anywhere in the county, see the bottom of this page. We'd rather hear your idea than guess at what you need.
Perfect Attendance Award at Holly Pond
Every year, Holly Pond recognizes the students who make it to school every single day. We sponsor the Perfect Attendance Award, and we think it may be the best thing we put our name on. Showing up is a habit, and it's one that pays off for the rest of your life.
Good Hope Raiders
Good Hope is personal for us. It's where Amanda went to school, where her kids went, and where her parents went before that. You'll see our name on the football scoreboard and the gym floor, and you'll see us in the stands. We sponsor teams and individual athletes across the athletic program, and when the cheer squad brings home a title, we're the ones hollering about it on Facebook.
During football season, the scoreboard carries something we're especially glad to be part of: a video series about what it means to be a Raider, told by the people who know. More on that below.
Once a Raider, Always a Raider
In the summer of 2026, we asked a simple question of people who have Good Hope in their bones: what does it mean to be a Raider? Then we got out of the way.
A Cullman production crew sat down with coaches, alumni, parents, grandparents, and a band director on the practice field and in the halls. Nobody read from a script. We asked what it means to be a Raider and what comes to mind when they think of Good Hope, then let them talk.
The videos play on the Good Hope scoreboard on Friday nights throughout the season, and we share one on our social pages most Friday afternoons. If you missed one, they're all here.

Good Samaritan Health Clinic
Not everyone in Cullman County has health insurance. Plenty of people work hard, fall through the cracks, and put off the doctor until something small becomes something serious. Good Samaritan Health Clinic exists for them. It provides medical care to our neighbors without insurance, and it's widening its focus to the things that keep people well in the first place.
Amanda serves on the clinic's board, and she's been part of the work to give it a permanent home. For years the clinic operated out of leased space in someone else's building. In September 2025 it broke ground on its own 5,040-square-foot building on Veterans Drive SW, and the doors are opening in 2026. When a clinic owns its building, it stops worrying about the lease and starts planning for the next twenty years. That's the kind of stability a community can count on.
If you'd like to help, the clinic welcomes donations and volunteers.
Around town
Some of what we do doesn't fit in a category. It's just being here.
Friday nights
Wherever there's a game in Cullman County, we're pulling for the home team. We mean every one of them.
Cullman County Fair
Keep an eye on our Facebook page in the fall. We give away fair tickets, and we'd rather see you there than anywhere.
Oktoberfest
Every fall we enter the downtown window-decorating contest. We came in second last year. We're not over it.
Cullman Regional Gala
The hospital's annual gala supports the people who take care of all of us. We're glad to support them back.
Cullman Area Chamber of Commerce Gala
It's the one night a year the whole business community is in one room, and we like that room.
Community Corner on WBRC Fox 6
A few times a year, Amanda and Brian sit down on Good Day Alabama for Community Corner: a few plain-English minutes on something people actually deal with. Deer on the road in hunting season. What an insurance adjuster is really doing when they call. What most people get wrong about Social Security disability. No pitch, just the answer.
We post every segment here so you can find it when you need it.
