FNB Bank, Inc. (FNB) is proud to contribute to West Kentucky Community and Technical College’s (WKCTC) HealthCare COUNTS Campaign with a $25,000 investment.  WKCTC recently announced their $3 million endowment campaign that will help fund and further develop the college’s health care education programs.  With FNB’s investment, the bank will also be naming the Allied Health Building Conference Room.

“Healthcare has always been an important field, but the last two years have showcased the need and importance more than ever during the global pandemic,” stated Sally Hopkins, FNB President and CEO. “The need for more healthcare workers is great in western Kentucky and we are proud to join forces with other community minded supporters to invest in WKCTC’s HealthCare COUNTS campaign.  We applaud WKCTC’s initiative to help prepare more students for the healthcare workforce as we continue to face the pandemic, an aging population, and beyond.”

“On behalf of WKCTC, I am extremely thankful for this significant contribution to our HealthCare COUNTS Campaign by FNB Bank, and we are honored to have such great community partners joining us in addressing regional health care shortages and needs,” stated Dr. Anton Reece, WKCTC President.

The purpose of the HealthCare COUNTS endowment campaign is to address the growing need for more nurses and health care professionals.  Currently, the college has raised about 60% of the overall campaign goal. The campaign will continue through October 2022 in an effort to ultimately achieve the $3 million goal.  Interested investors for the HealthCare COUNTS campaign are encouraged to contact Lee Emmons, WKCTC Vice President of Industrial Advancement and Executive Director of Paducah Junior College at lee.emmons@kctcs.edu or by phone at 270-534-3084.

FNB Bank is proud to announce that they have donated over $23,000 back to Mayfield, Graves County and Trigg County Schools through their Spirit Debit Card Program. These donations to the school systems are a result of FNB’s 3rd quarter 2021 Spirit Debit Card Reward Program.

“We are proud to offer our exclusive FNB Spirit Debit Card Program to our local schools,” stated Brooke Wiles, FNB Marketing Director.  “Our customers have pride in knowing that they are making a difference in the lives of our youth by simply swiping their Spirit Debit Cards at the checkout.  The donated funds allow the school systems the opportunity to do more for their students and staff, which is an invaluable asset to our community.”

The FNB Spirit Debit Card Rewards Program allows FNB and their customers the opportunity to give back to their local schools when they use their FNB debit card.  FNB currently offers Spirit Debit Cards for Mayfield, Graves County and Trigg County Schools.  The Spirit Card works like a traditional debit card and for each signature-based transaction (not using your PIN), FNB donates $0.10 to the corresponding school.  The tracking process is hassle free for the card holder, as FNB does all the tracking and submits the check to each school on a quarterly basis.  The donated funds are utilized at the school’s discretion.

In 2020, FNB donated over $79,000 to their participating schools through the Spirit Debit Card Program.  To learn more about the Spirit Debit Card Program, stop by your nearest FNB Office or visit www.GrowWithFNB.com.

FNB Bank, Inc. (FNB) is proud to help the City of Murray take another step forward to raise the funds needed for the Central Park swimming pool renovations and other park improvements as needed with a $100,000 investment.  FNB is the most recent community centered business/foundation that has joined in to help raise money for the needed park renovations.  As part of the investment, FNB will be naming the facilities at Chestnut Park, The FNB Bank Sports Complex.  The FNB Bank Sports Complex hosts a variety of recreational opportunities, such as Basketball, Pickle Ball, Ball Diamonds, Par 3 Foot Golf Course, Walking Trail, Picnic Pavilions and more.

“The Central Park pool is important for the Murray-Calloway County community. It has provided years of family fun and was where many children learned to swim through Red Cross lessons.  The pool closing has left a void in our town for several years now.” stated Sally Hopkins, FNB President and CEO.  “We are proud to be a part of this very important community project to get the pool back up and running. The restoration of the pool will make a positive impact for years to come.”

The Central Park pool has been closed since 2019 due to a lack of funding to make the renovations needed.  It is anticipated that the estimate for the pool renovation expenses will cost $900,000 to $1 million.  Other interested investors are encouraged to call the park office at (270) 762-0325.

FNB proudly donated $5,000 to the Family Resource and Youth Service Centers of Mayfield Independent Schools and Graves County Schools as a result of the bank’s 2020-2021 philanthropic efforts in Mayfield-Graves County. Both Family Resource Centers received $2,500 donations to assist with their efforts within the school systems, specifically their internal food bank program that supplies children in need with nutritious, easy-to-prepare foods to eat on weekends when school food isn’t available.

“Giving back to our local community is something we do every day at FNB,” stated Brooke Wiles, FNB Marketing Director.  “It has been a challenging environment to fundraise during the COVID-19 pandemic, but we found creative ways to do so, and our community, customers, and employees were beyond supportive.  The children and youth of our community are the future, which is why the bank finds it important to give back to our local Family Resource Programs that serve the needs of our children on a daily basis.”

Throughout 2020 and 2021, FNB employees coordinated and participated in numerous fundraising events benefiting the Family Resource Centers. Various fundraising efforts included a Wendy’s of Mayfield Chili Lunch, a cookout at FNB’s Mayfield Main Office and concession sales during the Graves County and Mayfield Battle of the Birds football game.  Employees also participated in various jean days throughout both years to benefit the worthy causes.

The Family Resource and Youth Service Center’s (FRYSC) mission is to enhance students’ abilities to succeed in school by developing and sustaining partnerships that promote early learning and successful transition into school, academic achievement and well-being and graduation and transition into adult life. This is done by helping to break any nonacademic barriers that interfere with a child’s education. Services offered include parenting programs, emergency/crisis assistance, referrals for basic needs and more.
