U.S. Bank provides funding for Avondale Day, a day-long series of events centered on health and community building produced by the Avondale Development Corporation.
Events include the Avondale Festival & Health Fair, Black Men’s Health Forum and the 5K Avondale Feet in the Street walk and run. Avondale Day is a lifeline to at-risk African American families, providing health screenings, counsel and important information in the context of a day-long festival for friends and family.
U.S. Bank’s history dates back to 1863 when First National Bank of Cincinnati opened for business. As regional banks proliferated across the country in the years that followed, a number of other predecessors were born. After a series of mergers at the turn of the 21st century, the institutions formally took on the U.S. Bank name and established its headquarters in Minnesota. Today, U.S. Bank is the fifth-largest bank in the country, with more than 70,000 employees and $495 billion in assets as of December 31, 2019.
