On Tuesday, January 6, Marion County Bank hosted its second annual Bucks for Baskets event at Melcher-Dallas High School—and what a night it turned out to be! The Saints crowd filled the gym with energy and excitement as four students stepped onto the court at halftime to shoot for their school.

A New Record

With the crowd cheering them on, the students delivered an outstanding performance—setting a new record by earning a $2,025 donation to the Student Activity Fund at Melcher-Dallas Schools! 

Continuing a Tradition

Since 2004, Marion County Bank halftime events have raised over $167,000 for area schools. 

A heartfelt thank you to the students, families, and community members who made this event so special. Your support helps us continue investing in local schools and communities.
