Every day is an opportunity to teach kids about money management   Community Connections Public Awareness Campaign AmericanWest is a community bank and for us that means stepping up as an integral part of the community and partnering with others to make a valuable impact. One of the ways we demonstrate our commitment is through our Community Connections campaign in partnership with KNDO and KNDU TV in South Central and Eastern Washington. Each year we select one organization for each month and we pay to air a :30 commercial a minimum of 200 times during that month. Each commercial provides a platform for the charity to educate the community about their mission, upcoming fundraising efforts, or other important topics. Since the program began we’ve contributed more than $240,000 to local causes. The 2013 recipients are listed below, selected from more than 100 applicants. Again this year, the caliber of applicants was impressive. We are humbled by the tremendous efforts of organizations who positively impact the quality of life in these communities where we all live and work. It is our pleasure to underwrite the advertising efforts of these 22 organizations in 2013: KNDO Recipients February/March Catholic Housing Charities March/April Jennine Hedwall Guild for Seattle Children’s Hospital April/May Voices for Children Foundation May/June Yakima Food Bank June/July Wellness House July (2 weeks) People for People July/August La Casa Hogar August/September Union Gospel Mission: Free Clinic October EnTrust Community Services November Camp Prime Time December (2 weeks) People for People December/January Yakima Valley Partner Habitat for Humanity KNDU Recipients February/March Girl Scouts of Eastern Washington March/April Benton Franklin Asset Building Coalition April/May Bikers Against Child Abuse May/June Domestic Violence Services of Benton & Franklin Counties June/July Walla Walla Community College Foundation July/August Friends of Children of Walla Walla August/September Tri-Cities Diaper Bank October (2 weeks) Second Harvest November Columbia Industries November/December Tri-Cities Chapter of Project Linus December/January Blue Mountain Action Council Walla Walla January (2 weeks) Second Harvest Thank you for your interest in our Community Connections Program!
