In response to the increasing budgetary needs of our local schools, American Bank & Trust was inspired to give back to communities through Spirit Cards. The Spirit Card is a debit card that showcases the school district’s name, colors and mascot. When American Bank & Trust account holders make a purchase with their Iroquois/Lake Preston Sharks Spirit Card, AB&T donates a percentage of money back to the Iroquois and Lake Preston school Districts. Since 2022, schools have received a total of $3,500. Representatives from the AB&T Iroquois Branch presented a check for $1,000; these funds will be used to purchase a new squat rack for the weight room. If you would like more information on how you can help support the Iroquois School District by simply swiping your debit card along with showing your school spirit, stop by your local American Bank & Trust location or visit ABT.bank.
