CorTrust Bank is using “casual Fridays” to give back to local community causes. Through the CorTrust Cares Jeans Day program, employees can wear jeans on Fridays in exchange for a financial gift. This charitable giving initiative offers a centralized way for each CorTrust market to uplift worthwhile causes.
In 2025, the program donated $15,851.67 to local nonprofits in the areas they serve.
These funds helped over 30 organizations, including: LifeScape, The Main Street Center, Mitchell Snack Pack, Make-A-Wish Minnesota, Ronald McDonald House Charities of SD, SPURS Therapeutic Horseback Riding Center, and the Mitchell Food Pantry.
“The CorTrust Cares Jeans Day program has only strengthened our giving efforts, allowing us to make a bigger impact within our market areas. Since the program’s inception in 2023, we’ve donated over $53,000. I’m proud of the work being done by our local branches,” said Jack Hopkins, President & CEO of CorTrust Bank.
