One Community Bank Invests in Education: $5,000 Contribution to Monona Grove Education Foundation
(December 2024) – Continuing its mission to invest in communities, One Community Bank is thrilled to announce a $5,000 donation match to the Monona Grove Education Foundation (MGEF) CARES Campaign. For any donations made in the month of December, OCB will match up to $5,000. The CARES Campaign centers on children, awareness, resources, education, and stability. Funds raised through this annual initiative will directly support teachers and students within the Monona Grove School District, fostering a stronger and more resilient educational community.
“This is an incredible opportunity to support and invest in the communities of Cottage Grove and Monona,” said Dan Carey, Chief Commercial Officer at One Community Bank. “We are thrilled to contribute to the CARES Campaign and help create lasting benefits for students, teachers, and families. We look forward to this being just the beginning of a strong and impactful partnership with the Monona Grove Education Foundation and the Monona Grove School District, working together to build a brighter future for our community.”

MGEF runs five different programs within the school district, including the Pay It Forward Campaign, Monona Grove Weekend Snack Pack Program, Summer Scholarship Program, MGEF Teacher Innovation Grants, and the Rundle Starting Line Fund.
“We extend our heartfelt gratitude to One Community Bank for their generous investment in MGEF,” said Jason McCutchin, President of the Monona Grove Education Foundation. “Their contribution to the CARES Campaign will make a significant, positive impact on our students, adding an extra layer of excitement and support to their educational journey.”

2024 AmFam Championship Raises $2.5 Million for Charity
American Family Children’s Hospital and 163 other nonprofits share record proceeds
The 2024 American Family Insurance Championship raised $2,505,000, representing the highest total ever raised from years the event has been held – and surpassing last year’s record amount.
This brings the total amount raised for charity to $19.7 million since the inaugural event in 2016, with 1,010 grants provided to nonprofit organizations.
Approximately half of the 2024 proceeds will be distributed to the American Family Children’s Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin, and 163 primarily local charities will share the rest in varying amounts.
The total proceeds raised, and charitable organizations supported, were revealed at an event held at American Family Insurance corporate headquarters. The celebration featured tournament host and 2023 AmFam Champ winner Steve Stricker, his wife Nicki, American Family Insurance Chair and CEO Bill Westrate, and representatives from community nonprofit grant recipients.
The eighth American Family Insurance Championship was held in June at University Ridge Golf Course. Fans and 975 volunteers from 29 states took part in the three days of tournament play, and the volunteers provided 20,000 hours to the event. The total local economic impact of the tournament from 2016-2024 is estimated to exceed $115 million.
