First Bank of the Lake - Press Release
This year, First Bank of the Lake is sponsoring an in-house campaign to raise money for Segs4Vets, making a fun approach to fundraising.
“It is an honor for First Bank of the Lake to recognize the sacrifices that our Veterans make to keep our nation safe,” said Michael Anderson, First Bank of the Lake President. “Participating in Segs4Vets gives our bank the opportunity to thank our soldiers for their bravery.”
MBA chose Segs4Vets as its designated charity in 2009. Since then, banks in Missouri, their employees, and community members have raised more than $254,790 to support this noble cause.
“Like our banks and their communities, we are proud of the men and women serving our country,” said Max Cook, MBA president and CEO. “We appreciate our members’ efforts, their hard work, and their enthusiasm for making donations and organizing events to support Segs4Vets.”
Launched in 2005, Segs4Vets is a grassroots program administered by volunteers. The cost for each Segs4Vets award is expected to average $9,750 in 2015. For every $1 donated, 98 cents supports Segs4Vets’ mission — helping severely injured men and women returning from Iraq and Afghanistan to choose the path of independence and to remain productive members of society.
“When men and women serving our nation suffer serious injury and permanent disability, they must have resources and tools that help them live independently and contribute to society,” said Jerry Kerr, president and co-founder of Segs4Vets. “Segs4Vets empowers these men and women, giving them a new outlook on life.”
