In 2010, associates from Arvest Bank in Greater Kansas City donated over $7,500 to nine local charities through the Casual for a Cause Program. This program allows associates to support their local community by making a donation to the month’s featured charity for the opportunity to wear jeans to work on Fridays. Charities are selected from a list of associate recommendations and every month, information about the charity and its mission is shared with associates to not only generate financial support, but also awareness for the charity.
Featured charities in 2010 included Cystic Fibrosis, True North Missions, James Elementary School, Children’s Mercy Hospital, Christmas in October, CCVI, Susan G. Komen, Toys for Tots and JDRF.
Associates appreciate the opportunity to give back to those organizations that have provided assistance to their family, friends, or those living within their local community. Greater Kansas City has selected the Casual for a Cause charities for 2011 and associates look forward to making a positive impact on their local community again this year.
