Forward Bank donates $56K to local school district

Marshfield, Wis.-based Forward Bank donated $56,000 to the Medford (Wis.) School District to update its Raider Hall. 

Along with updates to the floor, scoreboards will be replaced and shot clocks integrated.  

“Forward has been a constant supporter of the Medford School District including the student athletes,” said Medford School District Activities Director Ryan Pilgrim. He said the donation “will help us continue the tradition of success on the court and carry that forward to create successful members of the community. 

“As an alumni and former student athlete, I see a large value in keeping facilities updated and programs strong,” added Forward Bank President Dave Clark. “Athletics promotes healthy competition and teamwork which prepares athletes for their next step into the work world. Updating facilities like this also has an economic benefit by making it attractive to host more sectional games in Medford, bringing visitors to eat and shop in our community.”
