First Bank Presents Threes for Threes Check; Breaking $1,800 after Two Seasons

Another year, another First Bank Three for Three, another donation to Carmi White County Schools.  After historic performances by both the Varsity Boys and Girls Bulldogs Basketball squads, Amanda Sallee-Nelson and Bev Vaught presented a check for $975 to Carmi White County schools Wednesday.  The Lady Bulldogs poured in 150 three pointers this season while the boys drained 175.  In a partnership with WRUL, First Bank pledged to match $3 for every “trey” the boys and girls teams made this season.

Over the past two seasons, First Bank has donated $1,800 to the Unit 5 school system through the points match program.  Relationship Banking Officer Amanda Nelson says, “This is one of the many reasons I love my job.  Being able to give back to the community is something that I am passionate about, and First Bank has always shared that same passion.  We are proud of our athletes and their accomplishments, and this is just a small way for us to acknowledge that.”  Learn more at http://www.myfirst.bank.
