Happy April! The weather is getting warmer, flowers are beginning to bloom, which can only mean that Spring is finally here! Planters Bank has a busy April in store:

2021 Financial Literacy Bee We are sponsoring the EVERFI Financial Literacy Bee again this year! A huge number of Americans struggle with financial literacy, so we are so excited to be sponsoring the Financial Literacy Bee again in 2021. This opportunity is incredibly fun and helps teach critical financial concepts during Financial Literacy Month! Last year, Planters Bank had the 2nd place winner, Morgan Stanley from Greenwood! The Financial Literacy Bee includes short, interactive lessons that teach students how to save, set financial goals, budget, and invest. After completing the lessons, students submit a short essay in which they share their short-term, medium-term, or long-term savings goals and outline how they plan to achieve that goal! Three winners will be selected to receive up to $10,000 in college scholarships! Ready to enter? Just visit Financial Literacy Bee to get started!

Delta Diaper Bank – THANK YOU Delta Diaper Bank is an organization that seeks to lighten the burden of parenting for families living in the Mississippi Delta area, and to raise community awareness about diaper need and childhood poverty, as well as advocating for policy reform addressing these needs for children and families in our communities. In March, we held a drive where we collected items for this organization, and we wanted to take a moment to give a BIG THANKS to everyone that donated! We were blown away by all of the donations and support to this initiative, and along with your help, we’re making a huge difference in our communities! Want to learn more about Delta Diaper Bank or find other ways you can support them? Visit their website.

Planters Bank is so excited to host the Spring 2021 Delta Invitational Tournament on May 1! This tournament began in 1975, and has since raised over $780,000 in the fight against cancer. This year marks the 45th annual Delta Invitational, and as always, this day will feature their famous one-day golf, tennis, and bridge competition. This year, the social event portion has been modified to a poolside crawfish and shrimp boil, and will feature music from Chris Boykin!
