Step Forward Campaign
Mars Bank is honoring first responders and military personnel who stepped forward when others needed help.
Between September 11, the day we never will forget, and November 11, Veterans Day, Mars Bank is asking for submissions of stories describing service, bravery or heroics. Submit a “thank you” or a tribute to an individual or unit. Our police, fire, emergency personnel and military ‘Step Forward’ when others are backing away or turning to run. We want to honor their bravery and share their stories with our community.
Read a recent Step Forward tribute: Edward Hanke, Richard Conwell.
Here’s how you can get involved:
- Submit a story or video thanking or paying tribute to an individual first responder or unit, or military personnel/veteran.
- Donate to the GoFundMe to support Veterans in Need of Butler County. Veterans in Need provide emergency funding for immediate needs as well as furniture to veterans in Butler County, PA. Read more about Veterans in Need here.
