Forward Bank

The Forward Bank $5,000 Half Court Shot finds success in Abbotsford!

All attendees of the Abbotsford versus Pittsville basketball game on Thursday, December 6th were given a free ticket by the Forward Bank team on their way into the game. At half-time a ticket was drawn at random and Adam Seefluth was given two attempts to make the shot from half court, but he would only need one.

The crowd cheered as Seefluth effortlessly threw up his first shot and the ball "swished" through the net! He will be receiving a check from Forward Bank for $2,500 and the Abbotsford Athletic program will receive a check for $2,500 as well. One shot makes two winners in Abbotsford!

"These types of events encourage our communities to come out and support our student athletes," commented Gary Schraufnagel, VP/Ag Lender in Colby "It is also a unique way for us to connect with our communities while giving back in a fun and exciting way!"

Half court shots are occurring at high school basketball games in each of the communities Forward Bank serves. Upcoming shots include Columbus on December 18, Medford on January 4, Owen-Withee on January 10, Stanley-Boyd on January 18, Marshfield on January 22, and Greenwood on February 5. Shots in Thorp and Colby have already occurred.

Please support your local high school athletic programs by attending these games and you could have the opportunity to win $2,500 for yourself and $2,500 for the school!
