National Bank of Arizona (NB|AZ) has established a donation bank account through the United Way of Prescott to benefit the families of the 19 firefighters who lost their lives bravely battling the Yarnell Hill Fire. The fund also will be used to assist the residents of Yarnell whose homes were destroyed by the blaze.
Donations can be made to United Way of Yavapai County, FBO Yarnell Hill Fire Fund – #0440011985 at any NB|AZ branch in Arizona.
“We extend our deepest condolences and support to our employees, customers and residents in the Yarnell Hill area who are being affected by this tragedy,” said Keith Maio, president and CEO of NB|AZ. “With a branch location in Wickenburg and multiple branches in Prescott, this fire is in our own backyard. We will continue to service these communities and we pledge our support both now during this crisis and in the coming weeks and months of rebuilding.”
In addition to establishing the donation bank account, NB|AZ has committed to making contributions to the 100 Club of Arizona and the American Red Cross, along with individual cash gifts to the immediate family members of the 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots who were lost in the fire.
NB|AZ also is currently working to coordinate larger-scale relief efforts over the long-term. These include an internal fundraising campaign through the NB|AZ True Partner Fund for employees living and working near the affected area, and a benefit event that will likely take place in the coming months.
The NB|AZ branch locations in Wickenburg and Prescott remain open for business and for taking donations.
