2023 Community Card recap

2023 Community Card recap

With your help, we donate thousands of dollars to local schools through our Community Card program each year.

In fact, we gave a total of $33,811.67 back through the program in 2023, which even included a milestone distribution to one school district on our roster!

This program is one of our favorite ways to give back to our communities, and we are so grateful for your support of the Community Cards — because every time you use yours for a credit purchase, we donate a portion of that amount to the school on your card.

Let’s take a look at the communities that took home big checks in 2023:

Baltic School District

Earned this year: $3,079.92

Total earnings: $34,421.92

Total earnings: $100,000

Brandon Valley is a shining example of the positive impact our Community Card program can have on schools. To learn more, give this article a read.

Thanks to your support of the program, we’ve donated $330,486.12 in Community Card funds to area schools since 2012!

We also added Jefferson High School to the lineup in 2022 — so if you’re interested in helping the Cavaliers earn their first check, you can find more information on how to request their card here.

Lastly, we will be distributing even more checks during the girls’ and boys’ basketball seasons this winter, and you can find updates on that by staying tuned to our Facebook page or other social media accounts.

And if you’re ready to help your favorite school secure a spot in next year’s Community Card recap, just call (605) 335-5200 to request a card from our current roster. Hint, hint: your child can even add their school’s card to their student checking account!
