“To mark Washington Federal’s centennial, our dedicated finance
professionals raced for charity in traditional banker attire,” said
Brent Beardall, President and CEO of Washington Federal. “The
Banker Dash was just one highlight of the block party, where we
celebrated both our team and the long-term client relationships
integral to our success.”
During the Banker Dash, eight finance professionals sprinted in
conservative banking attire to decide the charitable fate of 10
$100 bills. As Beardall sounded the blowhorn at 6:30 p.m., women
dashed to the finish line in high heels while men raced in
traditional wing tip dress shoes and suits while holding money
bags. The winning banker, Larry Nelson, donated $1,000 to Everett
Boys & Girls Club.
