Eloy Firefighters Charities, of Eloy, Arizona, recently received a $25,000 gift as part of our third-annual #BelieveInLocal grant campaign. Battalion Chief Derrick Ethington said the funds will be used to keep local businesses and citizens safe from fire by providing protection through selfless service. This kind of community-minded action gets to the heart of #BetterTogether and earned grant nominations from #TeamFirstInterstate employees Martin Estrella from our Eloy branch and Gracey Lopez at our Chandler branch. Congratulations! Now through August we’re awarding $1M in Believe in Local grants! Get the details: https://lnkd.in/ghB7-_nd Member FDIC. Equal Housing Lender.

Shout out to First Interstate employees Warren Bynoe, Josh Hurley, Jack Gertsen, and Zach Bohannon, who recently participated in Junior Achievement of Eastern Iowa's (JAEI) 5th Annual JA Stock Market Challenge, held at the Olympic Southside Theater in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The Stock Market Challenge is a technology-based simulation of the stock market in which every 60 seconds represents a day of trading. Beginning with a hypothetical account balance of $500,000, the stakes are high, and the competition is fierce. #TeamFirstInterstate placed third! We’d also like to recognize First Interstate employees Dave Parmley and Jim Miller, who serve on the JAEI board of directors, and Bart Floyd, part of the JAEI board of trustees. Member FDIC.
