The Givers – Front Porch Guest

  • PublishedJune 1, 2025


We’ve been following this incredible foundation for the past seven years, and to say we’re blessed to be part of the journey would be a true understatement. From traveling miles and miles to sit down with some of the most inspiring students we’ve ever met, to witnessing the pure joy on their faces when they find out they’ve been selected for the scholarship—this experience has given us more than we ever imagined. Hopkins County, you’ve given us such a gift—not just in the remarkable students you raise, but in the warmth, heart, and unwavering support of this entire community. Thank you to the John and Deborah Gillis Foundation for letting us be a small part of something so meaningful.

Kat was born in Dallas, Tx but is an East Texan through and through. She graduated from Rains High School went on to earn her BFA in Design Communication in 2015 and has recently began working towards her Master’s in Business Marketing. She recently moved to the Miller Grove area to lay down roots with her fiancé, son, and their pack of animals. With 12 years working in the design and marketing industry, Kat has worn many hats. This has helped her to experience first-hand the importance of branding, marketing, and having a great website to a business’ success. Her true passion is helping startups and small businesses turn their dreams into a reality. This energy and vision encouraged Kat to start her own business, De La Grove Agency, a boutique creative agency that offers branding, web design and marketing services. When she’s not working, you’ll most likely find her doing home renovations, road tripping somewhere, hunting for vintage finds or binge watching a new show.
