Happy, TX – September 15, 2009 - Happy State Bank announced today that it will provide a substantial investment to the Senior Housing Crime Prevention Foundation (SHCPF) for a full sponsorship that will enable the retirement community of Memorial Nursing Home of Moore County to participate in the nationally acclaimed Senior Crimestoppers program. 
Happy State Bank’s sponsorship will allow the Memorial Nursing Home’s retirement community and its residents to become charter members in the Senior Crimestoppers Program. In addition to providing lock boxes for the residents, the program will also provide Memorial Nursing Home with a proven system for management, residents and their families to have access to an anonymous tip-reporting hotline, and cash rewards for information that helps the facility solve or prevent crime.
“Happy State Bank is pleased to partner with The Senior Housing Crime Prevention Foundation to bring this program to the Memorial Nursing Home at no cost to the residents so they may continue to be safe and secure,” stated J. Pat Hickman, Chairman and CEO of Happy State Bank. “We are committed to our communities and our investment in this program is yet another way that we can demonstrate this commitment.”
