First Freedom Bank was proud to once again sponsor a table at the annual Casa de Moda fashion show this past Thursday. Each year the show is complimented by a theme and the table sponsors choose how to incorporate it into their table designs. This year the theme was “decades,” and we chose to represent the 90’s!

Local boutiques not only participated in the fashion show but also hosted booths in which attendees could shop what they saw on the runway. A portion of the boutique’s sales were donated to Wilson County CASA. We were so happy to be there and show our support!

In attendance to represent the bank was Kaitlin Wattenbarger, Providence Personal Banker, Ashley Montgomery, Vice President and Mt. Juliet Office Manager, Olivia, Shelia Ferrell, Senior Vice President and Managerial Lender, Sarah Poss, First Vice President and Director of Retail Banking, Blake Smith, Accounting Clerk, Maliea Oakley, Senior Vice President and HR Director, Tatum Ortlepp, Assistant Vice President and  Retail Banking Sales Manager, and Christy Trammel, Administrative Assistant.

The 10^th Annual FFA Ham breakfast was held on Monday, the18th at the Wilson County Expo Center. First Freedom was happy to sponsor a table and support the event. The proceeds from the breakfast went to the Tennessee FFA Foundation, a non-profit organization that supports FFA students in middle and high schools. This year, the country style ham sold for an impressive $35,000!

First Freedom Bank was not only proud to be a sponsor but to also be in attendance for breakfast this year. We have been a long-time supporter of FFA and understand the important role it has in students’ agricultural and leadership development.
