Giving back never gets old. Seeing the impact of the donations received at The Giving Cup on local nonprofits is just one reminder why I will always fight for community banking. It’s not an easy industry to navigate. We have to fight against often unfair competition, scalability of resources, a regulatory environment which too often becomes one size fits all rather than focusing on the large institutions posing the most systemic risk and so many more challenges. The ability to differentiate ourselves as a community bank and remain relevant is a topic in every boardroom, yet so often in our industry fresh ideas are met with fear of change, resulting in banks finding it easier to merge or be acquired. Even on the hardest days, I am reminded we are here for more. I look at the students and teachers receiving recognition, fire departments receiving needed gear, those with disabilities receiving needed services, and children served at North Star receiving hope. Each check represents donations from merely cups of coffee. The little things do add up…so far to over $50,000 with 💯% being returned to organizations like North Star. What we stand for and how we give back as an industry is absolutely worth the fight. 🙌🏼 #whatbankingcanbe #banklocally #whereyoubankmatters ❤️

We stopped by North Star Child Advocacy Center’s Open House to present them with $2,000 from donations received at The Giving Cup! This brings North Star to a total received of $9,505! We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with them! The Giving Cup has received over $50,000 in donations to date helping our 6 local nonprofit beneficiaries better serve our community! #WhatBankingCanBe #BankLocally #TheGivingCup
