Residents, team members, and leaders gathered at Givens Gerber Park to commemorate the 250th anniversary of American independence with a patriotic celebration honoring the nation’s history, freedoms, and veterans.

Hosted at the community’s courtyard flagpole, the event featured a flag ceremony, patriotic parade, and musical tributes that brought residents together in a spirit of pride and reflection. Attendees joined in singing patriotic songs and celebrating the values that have united Americans for generations.

Givens Communities CEO Kevin Schwab and COO Scott Farkas delivered remarks during the ceremony, recognizing the importance of community, service, and honoring those who have helped shape the nation’s history.
