We are proud to be a sponsor for Cure a Child #CartingforaCure events! Pictured is Mission Bank's 2019 cart driver, Naomi. Cure a Child has provided relief to children struggling with illness and their families since 2008. The organization continues to make a difference by donating to local charities and the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. Local families in Antelope Valley can contact Cure a Child for support when in time of need. The organization's dedication to making a difference within their community is truly amazing!

Lifelong friends Mike Morrison and Seth Gibson are founders of Ventura’s MadeWest Brewing Company, a production microbrewery that opened in 2016 and serves Southern California. I am very familiar with the advantages of having a good relationship with a local bank. We chose Mission Bank based on the employees, especially banker Bryan Easterly, at the local branch, Gibson says. Running a small business takes endless amounts of time and effort. It is good to know that we have a bank behind us with similar values and culture.

Matt and John Fisher are the fourth generation to operate Crop Management Company, Inc., a diversified family operation that began with a commercial spray rig and a few acres of land in Delano. Now the operation has grown to include four Central Valley locations, thousands of acres planted in citrus, as well as freight brokerage, trucking and propane businesses. Relationships are what have and will continue to allow us to succeed in farming, says the Fishers, noting that the same types of relationships attracted their family to Mission Bank and banker Rob Hallum. Mission Bank communicates well and understands farming and what makes our world work. They have a ‘can do’ attitude.

Bill Ziemann is the Chief Financial Officer at Kern Radiology, a physician-owned healthcare corporation that recently celebrated its 50th year in Bakersfield. Because diagnostic imaging equipment can run from $25,000 to well over $2 million, Kern Radiology needs a financial partner that understands our needs and shares our vision of growth and service, says Mr. Ziemann, adding that Mission Bank has helped Kern Radiology as it has grown from one imaging center to its present four. I have been working with Samy Abiaoui and the Mission staff since day one. They have taken the time to learn our business and develop solutions to our banking needs.

Dr. Ayodeji Ayeni provides medical care for children at Shafter Pediatrics and urgent care for adults and children at Shafter Urgent Care. "Mission Bank has been there for us as a local bank to help us grow, Dr. Ayeni says, noting that people are increasingly turning to urgent care centers to avoid the long waits associated with ERs. I have been working with banker Matt Damian since 2014. There is a real drive at Mission Bank to assist local businesses to grow and succeed. Mission Bank went to great lengths to secure funding for our build project.

Karina Drees is the CEO and General Manager of the Mojave Air & Space Port, a general aviation airport that has evolved into a premier flight test facility and commercial spaceport. She relies on Mission Bank and its bankers, Erma Martin and Tom Lescher, to help her organization maintain her customer base and grow the airport. We always desire to do business with companies that have a good reputation, Drees says.
