First Bank Invites Clients to PLAY4JA Through October 14

From now until October 14, select First Bank branches in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego County will be raising funds to support Junior Achievement of Southern California (JASoCal).

Called Play4JA, the annual fundraising campaign is a fun and convenient way for supporters to raise funds for JASoCal’s K-12 financial education programs.

Throughout the initiative, First Bank staff will be raffling off gift baskets or products. Customers at some First Bank locations will also have the opportunity to purchase POP cards (Paper Pop Cards) and write their name on the cards, which will then be displayed in the branches during the fundraising event.

First Bank branches participating in Play4JA include: Corona, Costa Mesa, Fullerton, Goldenwest – Huntington Beach, Irvine, Laguna Niguel, Main – Huntington Beach, Marina Del Rey, Newport Beach, Otay Mesa, Riverside, Westminster, Westside and Yorba Linda.

This is First Bank’s ninth year participating in this annual fundraiser. For the past nine years, First Bank has been able to raise over $50,000. In 2016, First Bank employees in Orange County, Los Angeles and San Diego counties have already provided over 340 volunteer hours to JA.
