The Central National Bank presented a check for $24,390.87 on Friday to the United Way of Junction City – Geary County in support of their 2018 campaign. Central National Bank staff spent the month of October raising funds for United Way.

“Each year the staff at Central National Bank enjoy coming together and planning activities such as bake sales, a silent auction, bingo contests and other fun events. We also have the opportunity to serve meals to the community with all funds that are raised going to the United Way organization. It is great to see the community come together to support these events,” said Lindsey Snider, Commercial Loan Officer and captain of the United Way team at Central National Bank. “These special fundraising activities combined with our strong employee payroll deduction program, as well as a company donation, have been the key to our successful campaigns, “said Snider.

This is the eleventh year in a row that Central National Bank has been named a Platinum Pacesetter, a designation given to organizations who raise over $15,000 in funds for the campaign.

“As a community bank, we recognize the importance of giving back to our community,” said Robert Munson, Central national Bank Junction City President. “Each year I am so pleased at the tremendous job that our staff does with the United Way Campaign here at Central National Bank. This year’s campaign total of $24,390.97 was absolutely amazing! A large majority of the total funds raised is directly attributable to the efforts and generosity of our staff, either from their contributions through our staff payroll deduction program, or from the special activities and events held during our internal United Way campaign.”

“As a business that has been in Junction City and Geary County for the past 133 years, we want to assist with programs that improve this community and help its citizens. The United Way of Junction City – Geary County provides a tremendous service to this community; Central National Bank is very pleased to be one of the pacesetter organizations with regard to the United Way’s fundraising efforts in this community.”

“Central National Bank would like to thank all of the staff who helped to organize this fundraising campaign, ” added Munson. “Each year it takes personal contributions and a great amount of effort to raise such a significant amount of money.”

The team who led the bank efforts this year consisted of: Lindsey Snider, Scott Rock, Andrew Haynes, Joel Poole, Pam Diekmann, Amanda Rolfs and Brandy Osborne.
