First Farmers Bank & Trust Joins CASA’s Sand Sculpture Artfest to Support Children in Grant County
First Farmers Bank & Trust Northern Region Team at CASA of Grant County’s Annual Sand Sculpture Artfest
CONVERSE, Ind. (July 29, 2025) — First Farmers Bank & Trust team members put their creativity to work for a meaningful cause, joining the 17th annual Sand Sculpture Artfest hosted by CASA of Grant County.
The event brought together more than 25 community teams in a spirited sand sculpting competition to raise funds and awareness for CASA’s mission: advocating for the best interests of abused and neglected children in the court system. While winners walked away with bragging rights, the real prize was helping support vulnerable youth in the local community.
Representing First Farmers Bank & Trust were Sandy Beouy, AVP North Regional Branch Manager; Beth Leckron, AVP Marion and Converse Branch Manager; and Mindy Hooten, ABM Converse. This year’s theme — “Create Your Own Storybook” — inspired the team to sculpt a hot air balloon based on Dr. Seuss’ Oh, the Places You’ll Go! Their sculpture, titled “Lifting Up Our Children and Restoring Hope,” was a symbolic tribute to the journey, resilience, and potential of the children CASA serves.
“This event is such a creative and meaningful way to give back,” said Sandy Beouy, AVP North Regional Branch Manager at First Farmers Bank & Trust. “We’re proud to support CASA’s incredible work and to help shine a light on the importance of hope and opportunity for every child in Grant County.”
