Corporate Sponsor Story

Giving back to the community and the arts is a commitment Cornerstone Bank firmly believes in. Tonight’s performance of Huntertones would not have been possible without the help of our sponsor, Cornerstone Bank.

Chairman of the Board of Cornerstone, C.G. “Kelly” Holthus, believes that it is imperative for the company to sponsor the arts.

“There is a sense of responsibility to give back to the community. The Lied Center provides us with that opportunity, and we feel fortunate that a venue of this caliber is located in Lincoln,” said Mr. Holthus.

Cornerstone Bank, formerly First National Bank of York, received its charter in April 1882, with a mission to provide unmatched customer service and meet the financial needs of Nebraska.

Surviving the pioneer days and the Great Depression, the bank now has 46 locations in 37 communities throughout Nebraska. Total assets of the bank have grown to approximately $2 billion, compared to $23 million in 1970.

Cornerstone recently constructed a new full-service branch in Geneva to better serve that community. Zac Holoch, grandson of Kelly Holthus, was promoted to President and CEO of Cornerstone Bank on January 1, 2022 after the retirement of his mother, Kristie Holthus Holoch.
