As a community bank, one of the things we hold dear is community involvement. We encourage our employees to become involved and volunteer their time. We also believe that we should support good causes as a bank.

That’s why our Friendly Bremen Banking Center is again partnering with the American Red Cross to ask you to make the right play and donate blood!

Each year one of Licking County’s biggest rivalry games takes place on the football field. The “Battle for Broad Street” is the pigskin competition between the Licking Heights Hornets and the Watkins Memorial Warriors. While we have no say over what happens on the football field, we like to carry the competition over to the blood drive.

When you give blood that day, declare your support for one of the schools. The school with the most donors will receive a $250 donation from the Friendly Bremen Banking Center to their booster club!

The blood drive will be held on October 23 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Friendly Bremen Banking Center in Pataskala (700 Corylus Dr., Pataskala).
