- The famous Route 66 turns 100: The iconic stretch of road connects eight states, crosses 3 time zones, and is over 2,400 miles long. Fun fact: When the Route 66 first opened in November 1926, only a third of the highway was paved; the rest consisted of other materials like dirt, gravel, or wooden planks.

New Year, Same Old Scams
Even after the holidays have passed, there continues to be fraudulent donation requests. Scammers exploit the generosity of the season by creating fake charities or impersonating legitimate organizations, using emotional appeals or strong pressure tactics.
Protect yourself and ensure your generosity reaches those who are truly in need.
Do your research!
- Check the charity’s rating through websites like the Better Business Bureau or Charitynavigator.org
- Check the charity’s tax status. Are they tax-exempt?
- Review their financials. How are collected funds actually being allocated?
Check out our Security Center for additional fraud education tips.
