At our last home football game, Bank of Commerce representatives came to present a $1000 check to West Jefferson during halftime as a kickoff to the Super Fan Card Program.
When you pay with a West Jefferson debit card from the Bank of Commerce, each purchase will earn 5¢ for our schools!
We have decided to add the money we earn from the Super Fan Card Program to our new Panther Pride fund, which will go towards helping students by supplementing activities, athletics, and extra expenses that aren't covered by regular school funding.
Visit any Bank of Commerce branch and request your West Jefferson debit card. Available NOW!
