year that professional fundraisers come together to
honor outstanding contributions of time, talent and
treasure in the Texas Panhandle. For me personally,

45. “I didn't fully appreciate the magnitude of the
recognition until the banquet. When I saw those
who had been recognized in previous years, I was
overwhelmed. There is nothing more humbling
than recognition for service to your community by
someone not connected to your program. A true
honor that has made me work even harder to make
a difference."

52. “We were so excited about receiving recognition from
the community when we received the National
Philanthropy Day Award for Outstanding
Business/Corporation! Our company will probably
never be the largest donor of money to those in need in
our community. This award is not only about the
dollars, but it also recognizes our volunteerism and other
areas of support. We don’t support these activities to
receive recognition; rather we provide support because
it is the right thing to do for our neighbors. However, to
be recognized for what we do means a lot to me
personally, but also to the employees, Board of Directors
and shareholders of FirstBank Southwest.
