Last night, Chris Vartko (Seymour Pink’s Treasurer) and I were invited to attend the ION BANK FOUNDATION’S 2015 Community Awards Program Reception. As many of you know, ION BANK has a “give back to the community” type program which allows customers to vote on their favorite non-profit organizations. Those non-profits receiving the most votes are awarded grant monies based on the percentage of votes received by ION’S customers.
Seymour Pink was fortunate to be one of 60 non-profits receiving an award last night! We received an award of $1359.00! Thank you to all of the ION customers that voted for PINK and a very special THANK YOU to ION.
I was very impressed with the entire ION community last night. The officers and employees of the bank were friendly, kind,and showed great interest in the community!
Mr. David Rutatori, Executive VP and CFO of ION was the Master of Ceremonies last night. He was so sincere and so interested in all of the stories he heard from the guest speakers (4 non-profits were chosen to share some information about the work their non- profits do for in the community). It is obvious that ION believes in COMMUNITY!
Chris and I talked with thee most amazing people last night, both from ION and other non-profits. The event was full of electricity and enthusiasm (ironic, the newer bank name ION, an electrically charged particle)…I want to personally thank Marylou Cunningham, Ion’s Marketing Officer, for all of the work she put into the night to make it such a HUGE experience for all of us.
Once again, we are humbled by the depth of support this community gives to PINK in the FIGHT against breast cancer. THANK YOU to all who voted and to all who help spread our mission!
