Better Banks is pleased to announce a fundraiser benefiting the Brad Wallin Memorial Baseball Tournament. During the month of May, Better Banks will collect cash donations at all branches for the tournament. Anyone who gives $5 or more will receive a commemorative squishy baseball.

The Tournament, a grand event spanning from May 31st to June 4, 2024, will see the participation of 348 teams. These teams will compete on 36 fields scattered across the Central IL area, playing 675 games. Hailing from various parts of Illinois and neighboring states, they will vie for victory in eight different age divisions. The tournament continues to be one of the largest baseball events in the nation, a testament to its scale and diversity!

All the funds we collect will be donated to St. Jude on behalf of the Brad Wallin Memorial Tournament. This significant contribution will be made in July at the annual St. Jude Telethon in Peoria. We at Better Banks are honored to support this meaningful event, which is a testament to the strength of our local community. We invite you to visit any of our branch locations and make your donation today.
