HURON –– American Bank & Trust (AB&T) is strengthening its commitment to local communities through its Spirit Card Program, an initiative designed to foster school pride while providing financial support to school districts. This year, the bank donated $7,997 to the Huron School District and $1,000 to the James Valley Christian School District. The funds, generated through Spirit Card use, will be distributed to staff and faculty to support classroom purchases and student-centered programs at Huron School District as well as general funding for school upkeep at James Valley Christian School District.
The Spirit Card is a debit card that allows customers to support their local schools while celebrating community pride. Each card features the name, colors, and mascot of the selected school district and is linked directly to the cardholder’s checking account. With every transaction made using a Spirit Card, AB&T donates a portion back to the school, allowing everyday purchases to contribute to ongoing funding for local school districts and help strengthen school programs over time.
American Bank & Trust currently offers Spirit Cards for 23 different school districts across the region. The program includes the Aberdeen Central Golden Eagles, Aberdeen Christian Knights, Aberdeen Roncalli Cavaliers, Corsica-Stickney Jaguars, De Smet Bulldogs, Harrisburg Tigers, Howard Tigers, Huron Tigers, Iroquois-Lake Preston Sharks, James Valley Christian Vikings, Lisbon Broncos, Lennox Orioles, Miller Rustlers, Northwestern Wildcats, O’Gorman Knights, Pierre Governors, Stanley County Buffaloes, Sully-Buttes Chargers, Tea Area Titans, Watertown Arrows, Wessington Springs Spartans, Wolsey-Wessington Warbirds, and Worthington Trojans.
Since the launch of the Spirit Card Program in 2012, American Bank & Trust has donated over $390,000 to area schools through ongoing community participation.
