Release date: 12/9/2025

Orland Park, IL (Nov. 20, 2025) -- Marquette Bank, a locally-owned neighborhood bank, recently selected winners for its Seventeenth Annual Adopt-a-Classroom prize drawing. Customers, teachers and neighbors entered the drawing for a chance to win a $200 gift card used to benefit a local Pre-K-12 classroom of their choice.

Winners were chosen at random from entries at each of Marquette Bank's 20 locations and two winners were chosen from Marquette Bank employee submissions. Many teachers purchase school supplies, books, art supplies or equipment for their classrooms with the prize dollars.

"The Adopt-a-Classroom prize drawing is one way Marquette Bank gives back to the students and teachers in our neighborhood," Betty Kosky-Harn, Executive Vice President of Marquette Bank, said. "It is a fun way to help local classrooms prepare for the second half of the school year and put the gift card towards something that they might not get otherwise."
