Every year we award $60,000 to local charities.
Vote for your favorite in each region now through December 4.
Our purpose is to use the power of relationships to help people succeed and live better. One of the ways we fulfill that purpose is through our annual Community Rewards program.
Community Rewards provides monetary contributions to nonprofit organizations during the holiday season. Since its launch in 2008, the program has given more than $1.5 million to 300 charitable organizations in the South Plains, Permian Basin, and El Paso regions.
