Baron Wiley hosts Boost Boerne Business on Boerne Radio 103.9 FM, welcoming back Katie Ray Preston of Champion Home Services and special guest Leeanna McNeil from Rebuilding Together Austin San Antonio (RTASA). They discuss Champion's expansion across the Hill Country, the importance of fall heating tune-ups, and a major new partnership: RTASA has received a significant grant from Methodist Healthcare Ministries to help Hill Country residents repair and stay in their homes following recent flooding. The episode highlights an upcoming benefit event on October 23rd at St. Tryphon Farm and Vineyard, with catering by Blackboard BBQ, live Texas music, and a "cowboy chic" dress code. They cover volunteer opportunities, corporate sponsorship options, a touching story about helping an elderly veteran with a water heater, and how the community can support the year-long disaster relief fund at rtasa.org.
