First Bank Teams Up with Carolina Hurricanes Foundation for Community Impact

First Bank Teams Up with Carolina Hurricanes Foundation

In an exciting development for fans and community members alike, First Bank has announced its partnership with the Carolina Hurricanes Foundation, launching a unique initiative named The Power of Good Goals. This collaboration signifies more than just a sponsorship; it marks a commitment to supporting community growth and welfare across the Carolinas.

Scoring for the Community

As part of this initiative, First Bank will donate $100 to the Carolina Hurricanes Foundation each time the Hurricanes score a goal during their games. This donation strategy is designed to contribute to various community programs that the foundation supports, including youth hockey development, educational assistance, and health and wellness projects. Such an approach ensures that every goal scored by the Hurricanes translates into tangible benefits for the local community.

Adam Currie, President of First Bank, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, "We are incredibly excited to be partnering with the Carolina Hurricanes Foundation. This sponsorship reflects our shared values of community engagement, hard work, and creating opportunities for all, specifically the next generation. Plus, it gives us an opportunity to partner with an incredible team that is a favorite of so many around the Carolinas. Go Canes!"

This initiative not only provides financial support but also helps raise awareness about the foundation's community-focused programs during the Hurricanes’ home games, televised matches, special events, and outreach initiatives.

A Shared Vision for Community Engagement

The Executive Director of the Carolina Hurricanes Foundation, Amy Daniels, also praised the partnership. She noted that the support from First Bank would significantly enhance their capability to serve young athletes, families, and underserved communities. “Partnering with First Bank will help expand the reach and impact of our Foundation,” she said. “Their support will help us continue to create meaningful experiences for young athletes, families, and underserved communities.”

Going Beyond Just Sponsorship

Moreover, First Bank plans to amplify its Power of Good corporate citizenship program through this collaboration. In 2024, they have already initiated various projects under this program, such as grants to local organizations, a book club that donated thousands of books to schools, financial education programs, and affordable housing initiatives via different loan options.

By teaming up with the Carolina Hurricanes Foundation, First Bank is not just supporting a sports team; they are playing an active role in molding the future of communities in the Carolinas—one goal at a time!
