The Build-A-Bike® event served as a cornerstone of First Citizens’ annual leadership gathering, seamlessly integrating team building with strategic planning. Set against the elegant backdrop of the Washington Duke Inn and Golf Club, wealth management leaders engaged in collaborative challenges that strengthened their interpersonal bonds while sharpening their leadership skills. The event provided a unique opportunity for these financial professionals to step away from their typical roles and work together in new ways, fostering deeper connections that would enhance their ability to serve clients effectively.

The bicycles assembled during the event were donated to Durham Children’s Initiative, an organization that takes a comprehensive approach to supporting local families. DCI’s two-generational model focuses on breaking down barriers to success by providing resources and programming for both children and their parents or guardians. Through programs emphasizing social-emotional learning, financial literacy, and academic engagement, DCI creates lasting positive change in the community. First Citizens’ contribution of bikes aligned perfectly with DCI’s mission, providing tangible support to families while demonstrating the bank’s commitment to community investment.

We extend our sincere appreciation to First Citizens Bank for their generous contribution to Durham’s youth. Special thanks to Durham Children’s Initiative for their innovative approach to strengthening families and creating positive change in our community.
