Our 2018 ABC Program Results are in!
May 17, 2018
Denver, CO – This month schools and students are receiving a total of $99,760 in grants from the ABC Program that supports education in Sunflower Bank and First National 1870’s communities. Since the start of the ABC Program in 2001, Sunflower Bank has given away more than $1,238,000 in support of education.
"It is exciting to bring the possibilities of the ABC Program to all our Sunflower Bank and First National 1870 communities,” said Mollie Carter, Chairman of Sunflower Bank. “We hear every year from schools that the ABC Program provides much needed support to the schools that are helping shape the future of our communities. Sunflower Bank is committed to making an impact on our communities for today, tomorrow, and life. There is no better way to do that than to contribute to the education of our youth. That’s why we continue the ABC Program annually and also emphasize contributing to local educational and financial literacy initiatives everywhere we serve.”
From January 2 through March 31, 2018, new and current bank customers raised money for their K-12 school of choice by opening a Spend & Sign & Save account or swiping their debit card. In addition, the “Pay for A’s” drawing was open to all K-12 students who brought report cards to a local branch, no banking relationship necessary. Five report cards were drawn at each branch, and the student winners receive $10 for every “A” up to $100.
Plans are underway to bring the ABC Program back to Sunflower Bank and First National 1870 for an 18th year. Visit a local branch, SunflowerBank.com or FirstNational1870.com to learn more about the bank’s support for its communities.
