Sunflower Bank has donated over $132,000 to schools and students that participated in its ABC Program for Education’s 2023-2024 school year campaign. These donations included $9,692 to schools in Hays.
Originating in 2001, the ABC Program has donated over $1.8 million to support education in Sunflower Bank communities. Donations for 2024 were distributed by local branches throughout October to participating schools and education systems.
“Sunflower Bank’s ABC Program for Education continues to highlight our commitment to our youth and their academic success. Our bank is passionate about the support we provide to our communities and helping K-12 schools raise direct funds has been a core component of that support since 2001. We take pride in the $1.8 million we have donated over the years and look forward to continuing to grow that number as we support our schools and students.” said Mollie Carter, Sunflower Bank’s Executive Chairman.
Sunflower Bank’s 2024-2025 school year campaign is already underway with the following opportunities to support education throughout the Sunflower Bank footprint:
- Customer Debit Card Transactions: Sunflower Bank customers can designate an ABC Program-registered school to support with each eligible debit card purchase during the campaign, with a standard school donation of $0.02 per transaction.1
- New Account Openings: The bank will donate $5 for new Elevation Checking accounts opened with a qualifying school code during the campaign period. The current campaign is running between September 1, 2024 and August 31, 2025.2
- “Pay for As” Drawings: Twice a year, K-12 students can bring their most recent report card to any bank branch for a chance to win $10 for every A, up to a total of $100 per student. These drawings are open to the public and no purchase is required for entry. Five winners are drawn per branch and the current drawing period ends on December 31, 2024.3
- Added Benefit: If a winning student attends a participating ABC Program school, that school will receive a matching donation from the bank.4
