We congratulate and thank all of our participants, from the Sweet 16 to the Final Four, on an amazing fundraising competition!! More than $23,500 was raised for the Foundation through your outstanding efforts and generosity. Thank you to all who donated to make the Big Shot Showdown a success! But the fun is not over yet! On Saturday, September 19, 2026, immediately following the Recognition Luncheon, the Final Four will face off for Pop-A-Shot glory in what is sure to be an intense battle. The winners of the two semi-final matchups will compete in the championship showdown to crown the Foundation Big Shot! (The semi-finals and final will be recorded and shared on CBAI’s social media, so no one misses the action!)
All contributions toward this fundraiser support the CBAI Foundation for Community Banking scholarship program. The Foundation annually awards more than $40,000 in scholarships to high school seniors and Community Bankers School students. Donations are 100% tax-deductible. Thank you for your support!
