Omaha Gives-A 24-hour Charitable Challenge
The Omaha Community Foundation has raised $400,000 of matching funds to be shared by all participating nonprofits receiving donations during Omaha Gives. The amount received will be based on each organization's overall percentage of funds raised on the day of the event.

American National Bank to Sponsor Beach Boys Concert
American National Bank is proud to sponsor the official opening event at River's Edge Park in Council Bluffs. The free concert will feature the Beach Boys and opening act Mulberry Lane on Saturday, May 25 at 8 p.m.
The concert will be the first of many events presented by the City of Council Bluffs in partnership with the Iowa West Foundation during the three-week celebration. Officially called "Loessfest", it is slated to become an annual celebration of our landscape and the community.
Steve Ritzman, President and Chief Executive Officer of American National Bank said "with our long history in the Council Bluffs, it seemed like a natural fit for us to sponsor the Beach Boys concert as a thank you to the community."
The Beach Boys continue to be one of the most successful live acts in music today. They play an astoundingly busy schedule of concerts, averaging 150 shows a year under the leadership of original member (and lead singer) Mike Love. With his cousin, Brian Wilson, Love wrote the classics "Fun, Fun, Fun," "I Get Around," "Help Me Rhonda," "California Girls" and the Grammy nominated "Good Vibrations." Also joining Love is Beach Boy veteran and Grammy winner Bruce Johnston (Barry Manilow's "I Write the Songs") who, along with Christian Love, Randell Kirsch, Tim Bonhomme, John Cowsill and Scott Totten, continue the legacy of the iconic American band.
The concert will be on the Great Lawn at River's Edge Park in Council Bluffs. Concert goers are encouraged to bring their blankets and lawn chairs. Concessions will be available for purchase.

American National Voted as One of the Best of Omaha
American National Bank has been voted into the Winner's Circle as one of the best banks in the Best of Omaha survey sponsored by Omaha Magazine for 2013. This is the first time since 2008 that American National Bank has made the list. Only the top three voted banks qualify as winners.
The Best of Omaha contest, sponsored by Omaha Magazine, began in the mid-80's. It started with votes from the magazine staff, but eventually expanded to the public in 1992. Readers could vote for their favorite Omaha businesses and services on paper ballots and fax or mail them; but today, all of the voting is done electronically. By switching to online voting, the contest became more secure and added a sense of validity, allowing only one log-in per IP address during the voting period (July 1st - Sept. 30th).
As the contest gained more popularity, the categories also began to expand. There are currently 176 Best of Omaha categories with around 425,000 votes from around 20,000 voters. The five most popular categories are Grocery Store, Mexican Dining, Pizza, Bank, and Italian Dining. Most of the Best of Omaha winners don't actually advertise with Omaha Magazine; and since the magazine is the only sponsor with its staff calculating the results, the businesses and services nominated in the contest can't gain any headway by advertising.
The Best of Omaha results come out every year in Omaha Magazine 's January/February issue with a readership over 115,000 during the two month shelf-life.

AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK HONORED FOR DONATION
PROCESSING SOLUTION AT THE OMAHA HOME FOR BOYS
American National Bank received an achievement award from software
provider Wausau Financial Services for innovative customization of banking
services, delivering substantial processing and productivity gains for the Omaha
Home for Boys, a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving at-risk youth.
The solution developed by American National Bank has introduced the
Home to new ways of collecting, depositing, tracking and acknowledging
donations. This project reinforces the Omaha Home for Boys' mission of
strengthening youth and families through efficiencies in process, improved donor
relations, streamlined operations and cost reductions. The benefits continue, as the
Home now is experiencing increased accuracy and efficiencies in data collection,
timely daily account updates and the ability to reconcile accounts more easily and
accurately.
"American National Bank really listened to us and our staff in order to create
and implement a system that worked for us and deployed it during our busiest time - the Christmas appeal. The improved practices were easy for our staff to learn
and manage. Most importantly, the business efficiencies are helping us reach our
goal to expand youth and family service programs," said Jeff Moran, president and
CEO of the Omaha Home for Boys.
American National Bank received an "Expanding Remote Deposit Capture"
achievement award at the Wausau Financial Services annual customer conference
in Chicago in April. Accepting the award were Andy Bingham, specialist in Cash
Management for American National Bank and Moran of the Omaha Home for
Boys.
In August 2011 American National Bank embarked on the project to
automate the processing of donations for the Home and to integrate the donation
information with Raiser's Edge, a client relationship management application used
by nonprofit and for-profit organizations.
Utilizing software provided by Wausau Financial Services, the bank
delivered a service which scans checks for electronic deposit to the bank, scans
donor and campaign information from associated documents received, and - an
innovative feature - tracks and accounts for cash donations. The system produces
custom-formatted data for importing into Raiser's Edge, enabling the Home to
track donations from various appeals and automate the updating of information in
the donor database.
Bingham said the Wausau award highlights the ability of American National
Bank to serve not only the Omaha Home for Boys but also other organizations, nonprofit and commercial, with unique or complex circumstances for collecting and recording payments.
