Our new branch at the intersection of National Ave. and Chestnut Expressway in Springfield , Missouri, celebrated its recent official Grand Opening.
We have taken the opportunity to celebrate the opening of our new branch by partnering with local charities and getting to know our neighbors a little better. Throughout the entire month of August, we paired up with four charities and asked them to serve as our “Charity of the Week.” This provided them with the opportunity to promote themselves and receive donations in the name of everyone who stopped by the new branch. For each visitor, we donated $1 to the organization of the week and the visitor was entered to into a drawing for a new Apple iPad.
All four charities received their donations at our official Grand Opening ceremony. Drury University and Ozarks Technical Community College also each received $10,000 from the Walton Family Foundation to help support sustainable efforts on their campuses.
Thanks to all who came out last Friday to support Arvest and our local charity partners. Check out a few pictures from our event-filled day.
