Prevail Bank Donates $5,000 to the Boys & Girls Club

Through Prevail Bank’s Charitable Contribution program, $5,000 was donated to the Boys & Girls Club of the Greater Chippewa Valley to help cover the youth development programming expenses of a new Club in the Altoona Intermediate School.

“We are proud to support the Boys & Girls Club of the Greater Chippewa Valley,” said Brenda Trump, Prevail Bank branch manager – Eau Claire. “We’re a community bank that is passionate about economic development, and the financial stability, welfare, and growth of individuals, families, and businesses.”

“Each year, we provide up to 1,300 hours of high quality youth development programming for those in grades 2nd to 5th, said Ann Kaiser, CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Greater Chippewa Valley. “We currently have 79 children signed-up with more expected in the coming months. Prevail Bank’s donation will help maintain the success of this program in Altoona.”

The after-school programming of the Boys & Girls Club is open to all families. Club kids receive homework assistance, mental health resiliency skills, career exploration experiences, financial literacy education, hands-on STEM learning, leadership skills, and an appreciation of the arts, music, and community service.

The Charitable Contributions program of Prevail Bank is available for local non-profits that help local people in need, especially those with low-to-moderate incomes; stimulate communities financially; and/or enhances the standard of living of those less fortunate.
