FFNB gives $10K to Lindsey Wilson College

From Duane Bonifer

First & Farmers National Bank and Lindsey Wilson College have a strong history, and to celebrate that relationship First & Farmers gave $10,000 on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, to the Lindsey Wilson Fund.

The Lindsey Wilson Fund, which supports the Lindsey Wilson mission, helps meet the college's overall needs, such as resources for student success, faculty development and campus upkeep.

First & Farmers officials said that now is an especially exciting time to support Lindsey Wilson, as it prepares to become Lindsey Wilson University on July 1.

"First & Farmers is very appreciative of the relationship we've established with Lindsey Wilson College over the past several years," said First & Farmers Assistant Vice President/Loan Officer Sarah Jessie. "Much of the bank's history involves the college, soon to be university. It is a delight to see how both entities have grown and continue to do so."


First & Farmers Assistant Vice President/Branch Manager/Loan Officer Candace Petty said the bank is "incredibly thankful for Lindsey Wilson College, the amazing students and staff who make it such a special place."

"As we look ahead, we're filled with excitement for the bright future of this soon-to-be university and all the opportunities and endeavors that lie ahead," said Petty "Here's to growth, success and continued excellence!"

Lindsey Wilson President William T. Luckey Jr., who has been the college's eighth president since 1998, said a big reason for Lindsey Wilson's success is its relationship with Columbia-Adair County.

"Lindsey Wilson is incredibly blessed to enjoy such strong local support," said Luckey. "It means so much that First & Farmers recognizes Lindsey Wilson as a key member of this community and a critical part of our region's economy and future."

The First & Farmers gift was especially meaningful to Assistant Vice President/BSA Officer Hali Lawson, who is a 2016 alumna of the college.

"First & Farmers is truly grateful for the ability to pour into a great establishment such as Lindsey Wilson College," said Lawson. "As a proud graduate, I can say that they have not only made a difference in my life but the community as well. We look forward to continuing our relationship with them as they become Lindsey Wilson University. Go Blue Raiders!"
