Citizens Bank Donates to Local Schools in Honor of Battle of the Bridge

Citizens Bank, headquartered in Batesville, sponsored the Citizens Bank Battle of the Bridge football game that took place on Oct. 27. In honor of the game, Citizens Bank recently made a donation to each of the school's booster clubs.

During the second annual Citizens Bank Battle of the Bridge, the Batesville Pioneers and the Southside Southerners faced off at Batesville High School’s Pioneer Stadium. The booster clubs for each school received a donation supporting student groups on and off the field.

“The Battle of the Bridge program is one of our favorite events of the year.” said Micah Beard, regional president at Citizens Bank. “It is exciting to see our community turn out to support the districts with such a giving and collective spirit.”

At the gates of the event, each school also hosted a ‘Scare Away Hunger’ food drive collaboratively raising money and canned goods for local backpack programs. Next year’s Citizens Bank Battle of the Bridge will take place at Stewart Field in Southside.
