Amarillo, TX – FirstBank Southwest (FBSW) has been donating to area schools through a School Spirit Card Program since 2019. In 2022, the program worked with 15 different schools in the Texas Panhandle to create, market and distribute a customized Debit Card with the school logo/mascot. These customized debit cards allow users to show off their school pride and give back to their school district.
FirstBank Southwest donates a portion of each debit card transaction processed to each school district participating in the program. The more the user makes transactions on the card throughout the year, the more money the school gets. There are no limitations to how or where the money is being used for the school districts.

Perryton Independent School District – $17,915.05
Booker Independent School District – $5,388.15
