The race was a little wet and soggy but it didn’t dampen the spirit and energy of the event. The morning was filled with smiles, laughs, memories shared, and inspirational messages from colon cancer survivors. For employee, Shanie’s children Alex, Tiffanie and Kara were all able to attend the race. They extended their thanks and gratitude for the Farmers Bank team and our commitment to Shanie’s memory.

Working with the Shadow Buddies Foundation, we helped get Shadow Buddies ready for delivery to children with severe illness and disabilities and also their Senior Buddy Program. This fun project gives children and senior citizens a comforting "buddy" to keep with them. Donations to the charity were made by the bank, employees, and customers! The event was complete with a cookout and popcorn!
