Damon Priddy - State Farm Agency is proud to announce the launch of its Red Nets Program, a community-driven initiative focused on replacing worn and missing basketball nets on courts throughout the Springfield area and surrounding communities. By identifying courts in need and installing fresh, vibrant red nets, the initiative aims to enhance community spaces and encourage outdoor activity, connection, and play.

“My agency has always been about more than insurance—we’re about showing up for our community,” said Damon Priddy, CEO & Agency Owner. “The Red Nets Program is a simple way to make a visible, meaningful impact. A fresh net can spark a pickup game, bring people together, and remind everyone that these spaces matter. It can't be "nothin but net" without the net! Let's bring the swish back!”

For more information or to nominate a court, contact the Damon Priddy State Farm team by messaging on any of the social media channels, email [email protected], call 217-787-5400 or stop in the office at 2951 Montvale Drive!
