Fidelity Bank / Oklahoma Fidelity Bank

Only three percent of family businesses survive four generations. Statistically speaking, Fidelity Bank should not be here. From Homer and Marvin to Clark and Clay, faith and perseverance have carried our organization from strength to strength since 1905. Today, we're privileged to be a top financial institution in Kansas and Oklahoma, proudly carrying on the Bastian family legacy under Aaron's leadership. Our thanks to the Rotary Club of Wichita for the opportunity to share the Fidelity story!

There is something special about this time of year that brings a community together. We call it the Season of Thanks, and it’s the reason an empty lot in Wichita’s SoCe neighborhood now has the framework for a brand new home in only two weeks! To our amazing #FidelityBankFamily volunteers and our friends at Wichita Habitat for Humanity, thank you for all you do to make the dream of homeownership come true.

As the Air Capital of the World, much of Wichita’s history is entwined with our aeronautic heritage, a point of pride worth celebrating as a sponsor of the Kansas Aviation Museum’s Honor Awards this evening. We look forward to recognizing the community members who keep our state’s pioneering spirit alive and well, including Fidelity Bank board member and honoree, Dr. Sheree Utash.

Please join us in congratulating Pam Regehr for her election as the Fidelity Bank Foundation’s new president. Throughout her nearly three-decade tenure as a member of our Fidelity family, her development of our corporate social responsibility department has created a blueprint for impactful philanthropic collaboration. We’re thrilled that Pam's vast experience will become an even greater asset to the Bastian family and the foundation as she adds this new role to her current responsibilities. | bit.ly/4fvEyO4

Cheers to the Trailblazers, the brave souls who see the world for what it could be and take action to make it so. As a sponsor of The Kansas African American Museum-TKAAM's Hall of Fame ceremony this evening, we honor the work of Dr. Timothy Jones, Lakesha Bates, Dr. DeAngela Burns-Wallace and the late great, Langston Hughes. The world is a better place for having these trailblazers in it, and we thank them for creating new paths to a better future for all. | tkaamuseum.org

It’s here! The 2023-2024 Adopt-A-School Impact Report summarizes our third year supporting Wichita Public Schools - USD259's Harry Street and Park Elementary schools. What makes this program truly special is the ability to engage directly with educators and administrators so our funds and volunteer hours are efficiently allocated to match the unique needs of the student population.

Since 2014, Passageways Ltd. has been on a mission to uplift local veterans, providing vital health and housing resources, along with bright hope for a better tomorrow. Today, our #FidelityBankFamily volunteers helped them settle into their new space, built to accommodate the growing demand for their services. This Veterans Day, we celebrate the selfless sacrifice of our armed forces and the organizations who support their transition into civilian life.

All Fidelity Bank and Oklahoma Fidelity Bank offices are closed today, November 11, in honor of Veterans Day. Interactive Banking services are available from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. As always, customers can access their accounts through online and mobile banking, SmartVoice and our network of ATMs.

We know that it takes a village to raise a child, but the efforts of many vital contributors are often unappreciated. That's why we proudly celebrate the unsung heroes of the Child Advocacy Center of Sedgwick County as a sponsor of this evening's Heroes Gala, and thank them for the life-changing support they provide to those who need it most. | cacsckansas.org

This morning, our #FidelityBankFamily volunteers joined Kansas City's Father's Club to sell breakfast sandwiches to students at Blue Valley High School. The cost? One fist bump. It's a fun, simple gesture to ease the anxiety of a new school day and promote greater self-esteem—a campaign we are delighted to support! | fathersclub.org
