Forward Bank

Forward is supporting the Medford School District and their efforts to update the Raider Hall floor with a $56,000 donation. The gym is used by athletes and students of all ages attending or participating in numerous sporting events.

In addition to the updates to the floor, scoreboards will be replaced and shot clocks will also be integrated. The updated Raider Hall will be attractive to the WIAA as they have hosted boys and girls sectional level basketball games in Medford in the past.

“Forward has been a constant supporter of the Medford School District including the student athletes,” commented Ryan Pilgrim, Activities Director at the Medford School District. “Their $56,000 commitment to help us update the floor and the scoreboards will help us continue the tradition of success on the court and carry that forward to create successful members of the community.”

“As an alumni and former student athlete, I see a large value in keeping facilities updated and programs strong,” stated Dave Clark, President of Forward Bank. “Athletics promotes healthy competition and teamwork which prepares athletes for their next step into the work world. Updating facilities like this also has an economic benefit by making it attractive to host more sectional games in Medford bringing visitors to eat and shop in our community.”
