Mt. McKinley Bank
We'd like to extend a big thank you to Mt. McKinley Bank for yet another year as the title sponsor for the North Star Invitational. Your continued support of the women's basketball program for the 2024 Mt. McKinley Bank North Star Invitational has not gone unnoticed. You continue to go above and beyond and we thank you. Who is Mt. McKinley Bank? 

Mt. McKinley Bank is the oldest and largest local financial institution in Fairbanks. For over 50 years we have provided millions of dollars in residential mortgage financing offering in-house loans and local servicing in our effort to provide the best possible customer service. Today, our goals as a mutual bank are the same as they were in 1965: to pay our customers the highest possible return on their deposit investments and to provide lending and banking services at the lowest possible cost.
