iAB FINANCIAL BANK DONATES $6,300 TO KATE'S KART
iAB Financial Bank recently presented Kate's Kart with a donation in the amount of $6,300. Annually, iAB's Fun Committee determines a non-profit agency to support through employee fund-raisers held throughout the year. Choosing Kate's Kart as their 2016 charitable partner, monthly "Jeans Days" were held in order to raise funds for this donation. On these special days, iAB employees were able to wear jeans to work with a minimum contribution of $3. With the proceeds collected from iAB employees, Kate's Kart will be able to further their goal of providing hospitalized children with a new book to bring them comfort, to foster a love of books, and ultimately literacy, by encouraging children to read and parents to read to their children.
Donations like these to Kate's Kart are just another way that iAB Financial Bank is committed to partnering with communities in order to make a difference. "Our Fun Committee works hard to promote fun at work while fulfilling a need in the community," stated Michael Marhenke, iAB President and CEO. "We are most privileged to do what we can for such a worthwhile organization as Kate's Kart."
