- The Bank of Eastern Oregon announced on Jan. 7, 2025, that its school mascot debit card program contributed more than $7,200 to the Associated Student Body at high schools in Morrow, Umatilla and Gilliam counties in Oregon and in Colfax, Washington.
The Bank of Eastern Oregon school mascot debit card program contributed more than $8,400 to participating area high schools in 2021.
“The school mascot cards provide much needed extra funding for these student body programs,” Becky Kindle, the bank’s executive vice president and chief operations officer, said in a press release.
Initiated in September 2013, the BEO mascot debit card program serves several high school associated student body programs, including Heppner, Riverside, Irrigon, Ione, Condon and Weston-McEwen.
Use of the school mascot card generates 5 cents per transaction performed to that school’s program. Also, the $10 annual renewal fee for each card goes directly to the school’s ASB.
