Royal Banks of Missouri Teams Up with the Missouri Valley Conference to Present Field Trip Madness during Men’s Basketball tournament in St. Louis

 
 

Royal Banks of Missouri is proud to sponsor the Missouri Valley Conference Men’s Basketball tournament, held annually at Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri. The 2026 “Arch Madness” Tournament, which took place March 5-8, marked the fourth consecutive year Royal Banks of Missouri has sponsored the event. As a St. Louis-founded and operated company, we are delighted to partner with the Missouri Valley Conference and showcase both organizations’ continued commitment to investing in the future of our hometown.

As part of our multi-year partnership with the Missouri Valley Conference, Royal Banks of Missouri presents the Field Trip Madness initiative, which invites local students from kindergarten through 12th grade to enjoy the tournament action while discovering how they can set goals to become the best versions of themselves in the future. Field Trip Madness was held during Session 2 of the 2026 Men’s Basketball Tournament on Friday, March 6, 2026, as the Drake Bulldogs took on the Belmont Bruins. Students received education on physical wellness and goal setting, plus financial literacy training on topics surrounding saving, budgeting, and protecting their money. Students also visited a college fair featuring Missouri Valley Conference member schools to learn about options for education beyond high school graduation.

Through our support of Field Trip Madness, Royal Banks of Missouri aims to boost financial literacy in our community by providing financial education worksheets for students in attendance to learn about the services of a bank, the importance of setting goals for success, tips for avoiding financial fraud, strategies for saving money, and more.

 

“The Missouri Valley and Arch Madness are St. Louis treasures! Royal Banks is thrilled to partner with the Valley in the MVC Field Trip Madness program. The opportunity to participate in the development of youth through sports, fitness, wellness, and basic financial literacy education are an example of the bank’s commitment to improving our communities!” said Mitch Baden, President & CEO of Royal Banks of Missouri.

Community is at the core of Royal Banks of Missouri’s mission, and it is our pleasure to sponsor a fun-filled, educational experience for local youth. We look forward to our continued collaboration with the Missouri Valley Conference to deliver opportunities for growth and personal development to young people across St. Louis.
