Our Programs
Harry Romano Memorial Scholarship Fund
Established in January 2006 in memory of our beloved colleague Harry Romano, this fund provides $5,000 scholarships to University of Washington students pursuing degrees in Information Technology and Computer Science.
"Harry believed in mentoring the next generation. This scholarship ensures his legacy lives on." — Jack Stanfield
Financial Literacy for Families
Free workshops at all 23 branches teaching families the basics of budgeting, saving, and protecting their finances. Over 800 families participated in 2005. Topics include "Teaching Kids About Money," "Home Buying 101," and "Protecting Your Family from Financial Fraud."
New in 2006: "Digital Security for Families" workshop series, led by members of our Network Security team. Learn how to protect your personal information online!
Habitat for Humanity Partnership
Landrock Pacific employees volunteer over 1,000 hours annually to build Habitat for Humanity homes across the Puget Sound region. In 2005, our teams helped build 8 homes for families in need.
Jack Stanfield personally led the IT team's build day in October 2005. "He's surprisingly handy with a hammer," reported one colleague.
Pacific Northwest Youth Banking Challenge
An annual competition for high school students across Washington and Oregon. Teams manage a simulated bank portfolio, making lending and investment decisions. First place team receives a $10,000 scholarship fund.
2005 Winners: Franklin High School, Seattle — "These kids understand risk management better than some adults I know." — Gary Mitchell, VP Commercial Banking
Landrock Pacific Adopt-a-Pet Program
In partnership with Seattle Animal Shelter, Landrock Pacific sponsors pet adoption events at our branches quarterly. We've helped place over 200 dogs and cats in loving homes since 2003. Every adopted pet receives a complimentary GPS-enabled ID tag from Landrock Pacific.
Adopt-a-Highway: I-5 Mile Marker 164
Landrock Pacific employees maintain a mile of I-5 near our corporate headquarters. Monthly cleanup events bring together employees from all departments — it's one of the few times the IT team and the loan officers actually hang out together.
