2025 Hammer’s Great Backpack Giveaway
Wed, 08/06/2025 - 10:18 Community outreach
Stock Yards Bank & Trust was proud to partner with Isaacs & Isaacs for the third annual Hammer’s Great Backpack Giveaway! Hosted at the BlueOval SK Fan Zone at Lynn Family Stadium, this was the biggest yet, with 3,000 backpacks filled with essential school supplies being distributed to students from across the region.
One of the day’s most beloved guests was none other than Petunia, Stock Yards Bank’s giant inflatable pig mascot, who brought smiles and photo ops to kids and parents alike.
“A financial institution is only as strong as its community, and there is no better investment than our kids,” said Ja Hillebrand, Chairman & CEO of Stock Yards Bank & Trust. “Events like this are what community banking is all about: showing up, giving back, and helping families grow. We’re proud to stand beside our neighbors and support the next generation of leaders.”
Families also received T-shirts, LouCity FC ticket giveaways, and enjoyed a beautiful August afternoon of fun. To learn more and see photos from the event, visit https://wewin.com/2025-hammers-backpack-giveaway-3rd-annual-back-to-school-backpack-giveaway
