This year, CoServ celebrated its 85th anniversary so we are taking a look back at the record-breaking growth, milestones and the many ways we are powering community.

A CoServ Charitable Foundation grant allowed Refresh Frisco to buy bulk packages of shampoo, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, lotion, sunscreen, shaving cream and conditioner.

The 10-day trip was educational, inspirational and will help students stand out when applying for colleges, scholarships and jobs. The Youth Leadership Tour has been an electric cooperative tradition for more than 50 years, giving young adults a better appreciation of state and federal governments.

Your senior could win a $5,000 scholarship this school year!

CoServ Vice President of Field Operations Shea Hassell presented Sanger High School senior Gabrianna Giddens with the scholarship just before graduation last month. The funds will help Gabrianna as she studies at Texas State University in San Marcos this fall.

The Energy Education Team visited nearly 100 schools last school year across CoServ’s service territory, presenting in front of thousands of children. The children built electric circuits, played POWERrace® and watched arcing demonstrations with high-voltage electricity.

For more than 11 years, CoServ has used POWERrace to teach students as early as fourth grade about electrical currents and how to manage a cooperative. The game board features numerous hand painted structures and businesses, including a sports stadium, church, hospital, and fast-food restaurant. To win, teams must route power via spools of colored lines to the most buildings while managing their money wisely.

“We are honored to support the work that these outstanding teachers do across our service territories,” Whitney said. “Whether it’s a focus on STEM materials, curriculum through our Academic Initiatives or lifting up teachers and students during challenging times, we listen and respond in the way that CoServ knows how. We embrace the school and the community that we are so proud to be part of.”

CoServ joined Denton ISD in dedicating the new playing surface on Monday alongside representatives from Globe Life, FC Dallas and a few dozen students from the GOAL (Guys & Girls Operating As Leaders) program at Navo.

Starting Tuesday, Aug. 3, promotional giveaways will feature back-to-school related items for children 12 and under during the upcoming home stand against the Amarillo Sod Poodles. Giveaways will also be offered on Aug. 4, 5 and 8 – just in time for students heading back to the classroom.
