The Article
Amarillo, TX – FirstBank Southwest (FBSW) has been donating to area schools through a School Spirit Card Program since 2019. In 2021, the program worked with 11 different schools in the Texas Panhandle to create, market and distribute a customized Debit Card with the school logo/mascot. These customized debit cards allow users to show off their school pride and give back to their school district.
FirstBank Southwest donates a portion of each debit card transaction processed to each school district participating in the program. The more the user makes transactions on the card throughout the year, the more money the school gets. There are no limitations to how or where the money is being used for the ISD’s.
Totals for 2021 school donations are as follows:
Perryton Independent School District – $15,081.95; Booker Independent School District – $4,438.10; Hereford Independent School District – $4,299.80; Pampa Independent School District – $3,541.55; Amarillo High School (Amarillo Independent School District) – $1,322.25; Tascosa High School (Amarillo Independent School District) – $1,032.35; Randall High School (Canyon Independent School District) – $822.10; Caprock High School (Amarillo Independent School District) – $590.70; Canyon High School (Canyon Independent School District) – $548.45; Palo Duro High School (Amarillo Independent School District) – $322.85; Darrouzett Independent School District – $677.30.
FirstBank Southwest will donate a total of $32,677.40 this year. Since 2019, FBSW has given a total of $82,997.50.
This year, FBSW has gained two more schools that will participate, Bushland ISD and the new Canyon High School, West Plains High School.
