First Farmers Bank & Trust proudly joined the community in supporting the 2025 Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Kokomo, reinforcing the bank’s ongoing commitment to local service and charitable engagement.

Employees from the Kokomo branch — Rob Golding, Rachel Gunion, Julie Rhew and Danielle Marr — participated in the walk and represented FFBT in raising awareness for the Alzheimer’s Association and its mission to provide care, support and research for individuals and families affected by the disease.

As part of the event, FFBT made a $1,000 donation to the Alzheimer’s Association to help fund local programs, outreach efforts and continued research toward prevention and treatment.

The Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the world’s largest event dedicated to raising funds and awareness for Alzheimer’s care and research. More information about the Kokomo walk can be found on the Alzheimer’s Association website.
