FNB proudly donated $5,150 to two worthy community agencies as a result of FNB’s 2019 philanthropic fundraising efforts in Graves County.  Both the CASA of Graves County & Southwest KY Program and the Feeding America Backpack Program for Mayfield and Graves County Schools received $2,575 donations to assist with their daily missions of serving the community.

“Giving back to our local community is something we do every day at FNB,” stated Brooke Wiles, FNB Marketing Director.  “We coordinate numerous fundraisers throughout the year to support our selected charities.  This year we split our fundraising dollars in effort to assist two worthy programs that make a positive impact in the lives of children in our community.”

Throughout 2019, FNB employees coordinated and participated in numerous fundraising events benefiting the CASA of Graves County & Southwest KY and the Feeding America Backpack Programs.  Various fundraising efforts included a Wendy’s of Mayfield Chili Lunch, a cookout at FNB’s Mayfield Main Office, FNB’s Easter Egg Hunt proceeds and concession sales during the Graves County and Mayfield Battle of the Birds football game.  Employees also participated in various jean days throughout the year to benefit the worthy causes.

The CASA of Graves County & Southwest KY Program provides trained community volunteers for court appointment to advocate on behalf of dependent, abused, and neglected children in Graves County and Southwest Kentucky.  The program operated with 30 volunteer advocates and advocated for a total of 109 children in the 2019 calendar year.

The Purchase Area Development District (PADD) serves as the region’s food bank supporting a network of organizations that distribute food and non-food products to underprivileged individuals and families. One of the most successful efforts in the fight against hunger is the PADD’s partnership with Feeding America, Kentucky’s Heartland linking their Backpack Program to school districts in our region. It provides children with nutritious, easy-to-prepare foods to eat on weekends when school food isn’t available. Teachers and family resource coordinators identify children in need, and a bag of easy-to- prepare food items is placed discreetly in the child’s backpack at the end of each week. Currently, the Feeding America Backpack program serves 148 children in 9 schools within Mayfield and Graves County.

To celebrate the opening of FNB’s new Murray South Office, located at 611 South 12^th Street, FNB made a $3,000 donation on behalf of six worthy non-profit organizations in Murray-Calloway.  Each of these organizations received $500 donations: Murray-Calloway County Senior Citizen’s Center, Murray-Calloway County Habitat for Humanity, Murray-Calloway County Rotary Foundation, Murray Soup for the Soul, the Family Resource/Youth Service Center for Calloway County Schools and the Family Resource/Youth Service Center for Murray Schools.

“As part of our Grand Opening Celebration, we wanted to give back to some of the local organizations that make a significant impact in our community,” stated Carolyn Todd, FNB Murray Office Manager.  “Through the direct mail campaign, we were able to engage with our community and encourage them to be a ‘VIP in their community’ by submitting the direct mail piece back to FNB in honor of their non-profit of choice.

The promotion involved mailing a postcard to various households in Murray-Calloway County. Each household was encouraged to bring the postcard back to FNB’s new Murray South Office during the grand opening week. Once there, participants selected a charity from the list, in which FNB would make a $10 donation in their honor.  This promotion allowed FNB and the local community the opportunity to showcase and give back to non-profit organizations in Murray-Calloway County.
