Alex: Alpine Bank Kiss-n-Squeal

Alpine Bank’s Alex Mondragon and Larry Stewart are proud to join forces for YouthZone’s 2026 Kiss-n-Squeal campaign, combining their passion for community service with a shared mission to support local youth and families. Both Alex and Larry have long been dedicated to making a meaningful impact—Alex through his leadership role on YouthZone’s Board, where he helps guide the organization’s vision and outreach, and Larry through his ongoing commitment to volunteering and strengthening the communities Alpine Bank serves.

Together, they are stepping up in a fun and spirited way to help raise critical funds that directly benefit YouthZone’s programs, which provide advocacy, education, and support for at-risk youth and their families. Their participation in the Kiss-n-Squeal competition reflects not only their willingness to go the extra mile—but also their belief that strong communities are built through compassion, connection, and action.

As they rally friends, colleagues, and community members for support, Alex and Larry hope to make a lasting difference while embracing the lighthearted challenge of the campaign. Their ultimate goal? To earn enough votes to “kiss the pig” at YouthZone’s 50th Anniversary Gala on May 1—proving that when it comes to supporting a great cause, no gesture is too big (or too bold).
