South Georgia Banking Company’s Running Culture Drives Growth and Community

For years, South Georgia Banking Company, Tifton, has encouraged employees to hit the pavement by covering entry fees for local 1-mile and 5K races. What started as a company-sponsored wellness initiative has turned into a personal and professional journey for three team members who have since progressed to running 10Ks and half marathons.

Meet Ashley Castillo, Head Teller, Cordele, Samantha Chavez, Universal banker, Tifton, and Kayla Yawn, Retail Administrative Assistant, Administration Office, Tifton.

Along the way, these team members have built not only endurance but also lasting friendships, resilience, and a stronger sense of community. Check out the article  in the latest issue of Georgia Communities First magazine.
