1st Source awarded the funds to Junior Achievement at check presentations at LaPorte High School and Westville High School. In LaPorte, 1st Source's Mark Manering and Patrick Spence presented the contribution and in Westville, Banking Center Manager Sarah Hodum presented the donation to students during the personal finance class she has been teaching. 1st Source also announced a matching campaign to assist JA in raising additional funds.
'At 1st Source Bank we know that people are more successful in life when they know how to properly plan for their financial future,' said Hodum. 'JA teaches financial education to children better than anyone and has a lifelong impact. By supporting JA we are making an investment in our future and we invite area businesses and community leaders to join us with this effort.'
To encourage participation, 1st Source Bank will donate $1 to JA for every $2 contributed up to $75,000 in both 2016 and 2017. The funds will be allocated to LaPorte County and six other counties in our region. Those interested in contributing should contact Junior Achievement.
