Forward Bank

Forward Bank sponsored a $5,000 Touchdown Throw on August 30^th at the Colby Hornets football game and saw it's first winner!

The lucky participant, Kevin Spindler, was selected at random from the crowd to attempt a 15 yard throw into a 32-gallon barrel sitting on the goal line for a chance to win $2,500 for himself and $2,500 for the school’s athletic program. Kevin's first throw fell short and knocked into the front of the barrel. With the crowd cheering him on, he adjusted the distance on his second attempt and the ball sailed right into the barrel! Kevin is the first winner of the $5,000 Touchdown Throw since it replaced the field goal kick in 2018. Congratulations to Kevin and the Colby athletic program!
