Simmons Bank and Simmons First Foundation presented Central Arkansas Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) with a $100,000 donation. The gift will fund additional representatives for FCA in Jefferson County, provide scholarships for middle and high school student athletes to attend FCA camps and provide supplies for programs and events throughout the year.
"Today, young people are facing challenges in greater frequency," said Mark Miller, multi-area director of Central Arkansas Fellowship of Christian Athletes. "Our mission is to lead every coach and athlete into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and the church. Support from partners like Simmons Bank and the Simmons First Foundation will inspire young lives and create deeper community engagement."
Since 1954, FCA's vision is to see the world transformed by Jesus Christ through the influence of coaches and athletes. More than 700 coaches and 3,000 athletes are empowered by Central Arkansas FCA annually.
"Simmons First Foundation and Simmons Bank are proud to support our community with a gift to Central Arkansas FCA," said Shannon Morgan of Simmons First Foundation. "Simmons Bank and our Foundation are headquartered in Pine Bluff and significantly invest in the region. For more than 100 years, we have made it a priority to support our communities by investing in our youth who represent the next generation of leaders in our communities."
