Forward Bank’s $5,000 Touchdown Throw returns
Forward Bank, Insurance and Investment Services will be sponsoring a $5,000 Touchdown Throw at 12 local high school football games this fall. To support the mission of giving back to the community, half of the overall prize will be given to the school athletic program.
Each fan at a participating High School Football game will be eligible to attempt the $5,000 touchdown throw into a 32-gallon barrel sitting on the goal line of the end zone. The lucky participant will be selected at random from the crowd to attempt the throw from the 15-yard line. This year, the passer will have 2 attempts. If successful, the passer will receive $2,500 and $2,500 will be donated to the athletic program on their behalf. There is no cost to participate.

After the animal market sale, AbbyBank had the hog processed and delivered it to the food pantry at the First Baptist Church in Medford. “We always get excited when we are the winning bidder because we know it goes right back into our community and does so much good!” said Sue Ackerman, vice president and Medford branch manager. Barb Thompson of First Baptist Church accepts the food donation from John Seal, vice president and commercial loan officer at AbbyBank in Medford.
