BHG Financial Selects First FarmBank For $5,000 Charitable Contribution To Support Abused Children

BHG Financial (BHG) has announced the winner of its Community Banking Month $5,000 Charitable Giveaway. First FarmBank in Greeley, Colorado, was chosen to select a local charity to receive the donation. The bank selected "Life Stories Child and Family Advocacy," which supports abused and neglected children.

"What an honour it is to be selected as the winner," said James Pisaturo, CFO/COO of First FarmBank. "Community banks are vital to the communities we serve, and partnering with companies like BHG helps support important causes."

Pisaturo added, "We are thrilled that this $5,000 will benefit Life Stories Child & Family Advocacy Center. The Centre provides a supportive environment for child victims of abuse and their non-offending family members. Life Stories makes a significant difference in these children's lives, working to give them a bright future."

Lisa Drake, Executive Director of Life Stories, expressed gratitude for the donation. "Life Stories Child and Family Advocacy is deeply thankful to BHG Financial and First FarmBank for their $5,000 Community Banking Month donation. This generous gift will allow us to further our work in helping abused and neglected children in our community turn the page for a better tomorrow."

The BHG Financial Institutional Network launched the giveaway in April to honour Community Banking Month and highlight the support smaller banks provide to local businesses and residents. Community banks nationwide were invited to participate, with the winner selected on May 1 through a random drawing.

"A caring and generous spirit seems to embody all community banks," said Meghan Crawford-Hamlin, President of BHG’s Institutional Division. "These banks go above and beyond for their communities every day, so it was nice to help extend that support even further."

BHG has supported community banks for nearly 25 years, helping these institutions earn more than $1.5 billion in interest income since its inception in 2001. Approximately 35% of U.S. community banks have partnered with BHG Financial to invest excess liquidity, manage interest rate risk, drive revenue, and more.

Like its community bank partners, BHG is also committed to providing philanthropic support. From national causes such as the United Way and the American Heart Association to more localized charitable endeavours, BHG believes in giving back and is passionate about serving the communities where it operates.
