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 TV and KNDU TV in South Central and Eastern Washington. Each year we select one organization a month and we pay to air a :30 commercial a minimum of 200 times. 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 $200,000 to local causes. The 2012 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 organizations in 2012: KNDO Recipients February Yakima Schools Foundation March The Arc of Yakima County April Northwest Harvest May The Salvation Army of Yakima June Children’s Wishes and Dreams July Community Resource Group August Union Gospel Mission: Free Medical Clinic September Pegasus Project Therapeutic Riding Center October YWCA Yakima November Access to Baby and Child Dentistry Program December Yakima Valley Hearing & Speech Center KNDU Recipients February (2 weeks) Project Warm-Up February/March Girl Scouts of Eastern Washington March/April InVestED April/May 50 Calibers: Tri-Cities Cancer Center May/June Children's Reading Foundation of the Mid-Columbia June/July Fields of Grace July/August Friends of Children of Walla Walla August/September Domestic Violence Services of Benton & Franklin Counties September/October The Chaplaincy October/November Safe Harbor Crisis Nursery: Sails Outlet November/December Make-a-Wish Foundation December (2 weeks) Project Warm-Up Thank you for your interest in our Community Connections Program!
