College Station-based American Momentum Bank helped the Permian Basin Rehabilitation Center raise more than $1.3 million during its 47th Annual Telethon, held on April 27. The bank served as a sponsor of the event. The telethon, which aired on Midland’s NewsWest 9, raises funds for the rehab center to provide therapy services to patients who need assistance, regardless of their financial situation. During the event, viewers heard stories about patients and celebrated their determination, persistence and inspiration.
“The Permian Basin Rehab Center is a local organization whose mission aligns with the bank’s philosophy of helping members of the Odessa community to live better lives,” says Greg Simmons, Odessa market president. “We are proud to have supported their efforts during the annual telethon for the past 15 years and to help further their mission of improving lives by providing exceptional and compassionate therapy services.”
As a sponsor, American Momentum Bank donated $5,000 to the center. Eight American Momentum Bank employees, dubbed “Team Momentum,” also volunteered at the event, answering the phones and taking donations from callers.
The Permian Basin Rehab Center is the Permian Basin’s only comprehensive, nonprofit, multidisciplinary rehabilitation facility that provides speech, physical and occupational therapy, and hearing/audiology services. The center serves patients of all ages and abilities who find themselves in need.
Established in 2006, American Momentum Bank has 18 full-service banking centers in Texas and nine full-service banking centers in Florida.
