With our corporate affiliate partners, Tompkins Insurance Agencies and Tompkins Financial Advisors, we are able to offer a comprehensive array of financial services and protection for our customers.”

The Bank of Castile’s sponsorship on WXXI includes providing the stock market reports broadcast on WXXI-AM 1370 twice a day. When asked about becoming a business partner of WXXI, McAllister explains, “We support the mission of WXXI, and believe it is very similar to ours in its commitment to our community. Through underwriting and volunteering, our company and employees actively invest in and support this mission. As testament to this commitment, our president and CEO, Jim Fulmer, serves on the WXXI Board of Trustees. Additionally, WXXI provides valuable information and entertainment in our market and reaches the kind of listeners that we see as our present and future customers. By underwriting we are supporting a like-minded organization, committed to serving its community.”
