First Central Credit Union, in partnership with Kasasa and the Dream Machine, are hosting Brownwood’s Best Day Ever on Friday, Nov. 3 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Kasasa, which offers free reward checking accounts people love exclusively at community banks and credit unions, and the Dream Machine founded by Charlie Rocket, have joined with community financial institutions across the country with the goal of performing 100,000 acts of kindness for the Best Day Ever event, which kicks off Nov. 3 and continues throughout the weekend.

On Friday, Nov. 3, the First Central staff, wearing blue and red capes in a Superhero theme, will be visiting local restaurants and businesses where they’ll spread random acts of kindness including money prizes. “We are excited to be a part of the Best Day Ever to demonstrate how we make a difference in our communities,” said Mitchell Duttry, First Central’s Brownwood Branch Manager. “We believe in the power of community and the importance of human connection in banking. Through this event, we hope to inspire more to join us and in making a meaningful impact in other people’s live – because everything we do, we do for you.”

Charlie Rocket was managing one of the biggest music management companies in the world when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Facing death and weighing over 300 pounds, he made the choice to return to his childhood dream of being an athlete. He ended up losing 125 lbs, running 5 marathons, completing an ironman, and best of all, reversing his brain tumor. To top it off, he was even featured in Nike’s biggest Super Bowl commercial of all time called “Dream Crazy”, the Colin Kaepernick commercial. Charlie has now dedicated his entire life to making other people’s dreams come true through his non-profit the Dream Machine Foundation. He wants to become a new type of millionaire: the one that makes a million dreams come true.

“A random act of kindness changed my life when I was in a dark moment and diagnosed wit ha brain tumor,” said Charlie Rocket. “That’s when I learned the power of something so simple – being seen by a stranger. I’m excited for Nov. 3 because when community financial institutions kick off this event, it will have a ripple effect across the country.”
