FAIRFAX, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–As the United States approaches the historic milestone of its 250th anniversary in 2026, FVCbank today announced the launch of America250, a year-long initiative designed to honor the enduring values that have shaped the nation for nearly two and a half centuries.
Through a thoughtful series of social media posts, website highlights, radio spots, and other marketing channels, FVCbank will reflect on the principles of leadership, integrity, enterprise, stewardship, and trust that guided the nation’s Founders and continue to define American progress today.
A cornerstone of the initiative is “13 Stars of America,” a values-based series recognizing thirteen of the nation’s original Founders. Each installment highlights a leadership principle embodied at the founding of the United States and explores its relevance in today’s business and community environment.
“America’s 250th anniversary is an opportunity to pause and reflect on the values that have endured across generations,” said David W. Pijor, Chairman and CEO of FVCbank. “Those same principles—trust, discipline, innovation, and service—remain essential to strong institutions and healthy communities.”
Patricia A. Ferrick, President of FVCbank, added, “As a community-focused bank, we see America250 as a moment to connect history with the present, honoring the leadership ideals that continue to guide how we serve our clients and our communities.”
The America250 initiative will be featured throughout 2026 across FVCbank’s communications channels, including LinkedIn, radio programming, branch materials, and select commemorative elements. All content is designed to be educational, inclusive, and non-political, emphasizing shared values rather than ideology.
Founded on a commitment to relationship-driven banking, FVCbank views America250 as a natural extension of its mission to support long-term growth, community engagement, and responsible leadership.
