FNB Texas Killeen Receives Gold Medal in Best of Community Banking
The First National Bank Texas in Killeen took home the gold in the Best of Community Banking competition with their Lemonade Day entry. Lemonade Day is a national event that teaches children financial literacy and entrepreneurship. First National Bank Texas introduced this learning experience to the communities of Killeen and Fort Hood. Structured so that the youth would market “who has the best lemonade,” the children learned to set goals, develop business plans, establish budgets, seek investors, provide customer service, while also learning about banking basics and philanthropy. FNBT registered 1,490 children for the program in 2011, twice as many as the year before. Many of the lemonade stands donated their profits to a charity of choice after paying their “investors” back (usually their parents).
