Opportunity Bank Employees Earn Inaugural Greater Helena Gives GOAT Award
June 5, 2026
Through individual donations, Opportunity Bank employees in
Helena contributed a combined $10,590 to nonprofit organizations taking part in
Greater Helena Gives 2026, supporting causes that strengthen the Helena
community.
The GOAT Award—short
for Greatest of All Teams—was established by the Helena Area Chamber of
Commerce to recognize businesses that foster a culture of generosity and
community engagement among their employees.
“Greater Helena Gives is about the community coming together
to support our local nonprofits, and businesses are a huge part of that story,”
said Emily Frazier, Executive Director of the Helena Area Community Foundation.
“Opportunity Bank’s employees demonstrated what is possible when a workplace
embraces generosity and encourages people to support the causes that matter
most to them.”
“I’d like to recognize our employees’ support and genuine
commitment to our communities—it does not go unnoticed. From Greater Helena
Gives to volunteer projects and service on local nonprofit boards, our teams
work hard to make a difference,” said Jalena Johnson, Regional Retail Manager
for the Opportunity Bank’s Helena and Great Falls markets and HACF board member
and events committee chair. “I also want to thank HACF for making Greater
Helena Gives an engaging and accessible way for our team to get involved and
give back.”
Opportunity Bank again supported Greater Helena Gives this
year as the annual giving campaign’s presenting sponsor. The impact of this
year’s event was felt across the community. Greater Helena Gives raised a
record $381,728 for 120 participating nonprofit organizations in 2026,
demonstrating continued momentum and strong support for local philanthropy.
The GOAT Award will be presented annually to the business
whose employees contribute the highest total during Greater Helena Gives.
