NexBank Returns as Presenting Sponsor for Third Consecutive Year to Support the Dallas White Rock Marathon Benefiting Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children

NexBank Celebrates as One of the Country`s Most Noted Marathons Turns 40
DALLAS--(Business Wire)--
As the MetroPCS Dallas White Rock Marathon turns a fabulous forty, NexBank, a
North Texas leader in banking and financial services, returns as presenting
sponsor for the third consecutive year with goals to further extend the race`s
annual philanthropic impact benefiting Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for
Children. NexBank`s role as presenting sponsor has made it possible for the
marathon to consistently raise the number of race participants and increase the
overall impact to Dallas` local economy for the past two years.

Last year, race organizers were able to raise the participant cap to 17,000 and
the race sold out at a record pace. According to race director Marcus Grunewald,
"For the 2009 race, the field has been raised even higher to 20,000, and with
NexBank`s continued support, there is no doubt it will sell out again.
Registration for this year`s Dallas White Rock Marathon, presented by NexBank,
is already way ahead of last year at this point, so we encourage those who are
considering participation in the marathon to sign up soon before available
spaces run out."

Ranging from elite, world-class racers to participants who have captured
spectators` hearts through a demonstration of extraordinary will, NexBank is
proud to celebrate the efforts of the marathon`s organizers and the many
inspiring stories that have come to life since the marathon first began. "The
Dallas White Rock Marathon, presented by NexBank, has aged to perfection and we
at NexBank are proud to be involved again for the third year in a row. It is a
wonderful event in our community, not only seen by those of us here in the host
city, but by many throughout the U.S.," said Rob Rothrock, vice president of
NexBank and member of the Dallas White Rock Marathon board of directors. "We
feel so strongly about the positive impact this race has not only on Texas
Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, but also on the community. We want to go
one step further to ensure we are doing all we can to make the marathon as
impactful as possible."

As participant numbers increase and sponsors such as NexBank stay on board, the
hope is that larger donations may be made to Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for
Children. "Our goal is to continue to lend all the support we can to see the
donation to Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children increase each and every
year," said Rothrock.

NexBank encourages community participation by getting involved through
participating or volunteering at the Dallas White Rock Marathon, presented by
NexBank or by making a donation to Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children.
