Give It Forward In anticipation of Arizona Gives Day, FirstBank recently handed out more than $10,000 in gift cards to Arizonans in hopes lucky recipients would consider “giving it forward” – even if it was just $5 – to their favorite Arizona Gives Day nonprofit. Two Valley FirstBank locations hosted a mock customer appreciation event wherein bank visitors were encouraged to spin a prize wheel for a chance to win pens, keychains, and other minor prizes. Instead of pens, they were shocked to discover they were actually receiving gift cards worth between $150 and $500. Both branch surprises were part of FirstBank’s annual “Give It Forward” surprise and delight event. To see photos and learn more about Give It Forward, check out our Give It Forward page.
