Community Highlights: A Look Back at EVB’s July
At Elkhorn Valley Bank, giving back is an important part of who we are. Throughout July, our employees dedicated their time and talents to local organizations, community events, schools, and service projects that make a difference. We’re proud to be part of these efforts and grateful for the opportunity to give back to where we live and work.
July 4: EVB sponsored the 50th anniversary of Big Bang Boom in Norfolk. Big Bang Boom is a tradition that brings people together to celebrate, connect, and create lasting memories on the Fourth of July.
