Community Checks Award Winners Florida Capital Bank Donate To Clothes For Kids Charity
In an annual award ceremony to Promote Community banks and Credit Unions, Community Checks awarded $500 to Florida Capital Bank to donate to charity, and they chose Clothes To Kids.
March 29, 2016 /MarketersMedia/ —
Late last year, Community Checks -a division of Tech Checks Inc., – launched its first annual Holiday Campaign benefiting Community Banks, credit unions, and the communities they serve. As part of the campaign, community banks and credit unions entered a random draw to receive a free email subscription to the Community Checks newsletter, Your Neighborhood Partner, plus an opportunity to receive $500 for the non-profit organization of their choice. Two winners were selected, Farmers & Merchants Bank in Tomah, WI and Florida Capital Bank in Pinellas Park, FL. Florida Capital Bank has since selected their beneficiary, the Clothes for Kids program.
Florida Capital Bank (http://www.flcb.com) aim to provide big bank ability with small bank agility, with the most responsive and comprehensive custom solutions available, while still being rooted in the community. Their award enabled them to benefit a charity they felt were doing important work within that community.
Shelli Bushway, Senior Vice President/SBA Specialist of Florida Capital Bank selected Clothes to Kids, Inc. (http://www.clothestokids.org) as the recipient of their award because CTK strives to provide every child with a full wardrobe of clothing at each visit. They outfit children in a warm and cheery environment that mimics a typical department store; every child and family shops with dignity while children get the clothing they need.
The Community Checks Community Outreach Director said of the decision, “It gives me great satisfaction to be a part of an organization dedicated to supporting financial institutions who give back to the community. I feel Community Checks is to community banks what community banks are to the community. And the 2015 Holiday Campaign is one example of what can be expected of Community Checks moving forward.”
Jennifer Jacobs, Development Director, Clothes to Kids Inc., said of the donation, “Many thanks to Vice President Shelli Bushway of Florida Capital Bank for nominating us for a grant from Community Checks. This gift of support will allow us to provide wardrobes for low-income, school aged children free of charge. Each wardrobe consists of five new pairs of underwear, five new pairs of socks, four different bottoms including pants, shorts, skirts, including uniforms; four tops including uniforms, one dress for girls when available; one pair of shoes and one seasonal jacket.”
