2025 Sponsors


Presenting Sponsor

 
 

WaFd Bank, whose common-sense, disciplined approach has stood the test of time and made them one of the strongest financial institutions in America, serving its neighbors since 1917. WaFd Bank believes that banking is more than a series of financial transactions. It is a commitment to building relationships with clients, shareholders, and the community at large. Each and every transaction holds a deeper meaning -- an opportunity to own a home, a deposit toward a future goal, an investment in a thriving business. They believe a good bank understands this and provides a secure financial foundation that helps their clients accomplish their goals so that all can benefit. That kind of business model takes a long-term perspective and a commitment to the communities they serve. It means they are truly "invested here."
