St. Louis, MO  –First Community teamed up with St. Louis’ hit morning radio show The Rizzuto Show on 105.7 The Point to raise funds for local organization, Greater St. Louis Honor Flight.

From June 22nd through July 12th red, white, and blue stickers were sold at First Community’s 43 locations throughout Missouri and Illinois. With a combination of donations from sticker sales, First Community employee donations, and a corporate contribution, a grand total of $7,500 was raised for Greater St. Louis Honor Flight.

A donation that size is able to sponsor 10 veterans and their flight to Washington D.C. which is about half of the group they take. The Honor Flight experience comes at no cost to the veterans who attend and creates a wonderful memory for each veteran and their family.
