Sunflower Bank has announced a new partnership with Livestrong, an Austin, TX-based nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of those impacted by cancer. This connection reinforces the bank's ongoing commitment to the fight against cancer, both in Texas and across its entire footprint, while building on its continued support for cancer awareness initiatives and community health programs.
Suzanne Stone, President & CEO of Livestrong reflected on the partnership: "Sunflower Bank is helping us put life-changing tools directly into the hands of people facing cancer. By making the Livestrong Guidebook available in their branches and stepping forward as a presenting sponsor of the Livestrong Challenge, they're showing what it means to stand with survivors and families in a meaningful, lasting way."
The partnership introduces two components that combine the mission and resources of Sunflower Bank and Livestrong:
Community Guidebook Partner: Sunflower Bank branches will distribute hard copies of Livestrong's Guidebook & Planner free of charge, starting with pilot locations in Austin and Dripping Springs, TX. These guidebooks, which usually carry a cost, are essential tools that help patients, and their loved ones, organize medical information, navigate treatment, and manage life after a cancer diagnosis.
Livestrong Challenge Presenting Sponsorship: Sunflower Bank will continue to serve as a presenting sponsor of the annual Livestrong Challenge, which brings more than 1,000 participants together in Austin each year to cycle, run, and walk in support of cancer survivors and their families.
"We are thrilled to begin this partnership with Livestrong, an organization that shares our commitment to making a meaningful impact in the lives of the people in our communities," said Matt Lamb, Chief Retail Banking Officer at Sunflower Bank. "This is a tremendous opportunity to make a tangible difference and continue our efforts to help raise cancer awareness and support those affected."
