“The bank’s annual customer choice awards is in its 17th year, and is a program of which we are particularly proud,” said Ronald Dean, chief executive officer. “The list of winners reflects the important work being done by non-profits and volunteer organizations throughout the communities we serve. These funds will help support local schools, food pantries, and libraries just to name a few.”
Dollars to be awarded are based on the number of votes each organization received. With a maximum amount of $3,500, any organization with at least one percent of the vote received funds. Voting took place over a six-week period between November and January.
