Employees of Farmers National Banks in Geneseo, Morrison, and Prophetstown, IL, held annual pumpkin design competitions during October 2023. Public members in each town voted for their favorites. There were nine clever entrants in Morrison’s Bank, 1100 E. Lincolnway.
Angie Erickson received the most votes for her pumpkin design: Kool-Aid Man. Her prize was a $100 donation to a charity of her choice.
Erickson selected The Scars Foundation. The charity’s Mission Statement reads:
The Scars Foundation has been established by Sully Erna and Godsmack, to help raise awareness of the mental health issues that so many are faced with today. With the rise of suicides, bullying, addiction, abuse, and so many others challenges, The Scars Foundation is dedicated to providing resources and tools to educate and empower people, on a global level that struggles with these burdens.
