BANK NEWS — Citywide Banks is hosting free Shredding Days at two of its branch locations over the next three weeks. This Saturday, May 19th, from 9am to 12noon, we will hold an event at our Mississippi Branch at 13731 East Mississippi Avenue in Aurora. The next Shredding Day event will be on June 2nd, from 9am to 12noon, at our Hampden Branch at 6500 East Hampden in Denver. [...] CHARITY FAN VOTE – When you see runaway kids on the street you might think that they chose this life in order to gain freedom, do drugs, hang-out and have a good time, etc. But the truth is that the vast amount of homeless youth is actually running away because home is not safe. In fact, for between 40 and 60 percent of them, the streets are actually safer than home, says Jason Newcomer, Urban Peak Annual Fund and Individual Giving Manager. And, yet, the streets are incredibly dangerous. [...] BANK NEWS – Citywide Banks has launched a new Twitter site that will deliver the latest information security news, scam alerts, and consumer news to help businesses and families spot and prevent fraud. The new site, called FRAUD Spot, is available at www.Twitter.com/FRAUDspot. Twitter users can follow @FRAUDspot through their personal Twitter account and automatically receive any messages, alerts, or linked articles ‘tweeted’ through FRAUD Spot. The new Twitter site is separate from the bank’s main site, @CitywideBanks, which delivers economic news, business insights, and general bank announcements. [...] CITYWIDE CONNECT – You can give a homeless person some change, something to eat and maybe even some clothing when you pass him on the street. But what you can’t donate — is his dignity. That’s where Father Woody’s Haven of Hope can help. Aside from providing food, shelter, clothing, laundry and shower facilities, the volunteers and staff at Father Woody’s goal is to give the homeless and underprivileged a sense of dignity, says executive director Melinda Paterson. [...] CHARITY FAN VOTE – When members of low-income families have the opportunity to pursue their business ideas, train for better jobs and advance their education, the whole community benefits. “That is Mi Casa’s core philosophy and what we’ve been working toward for the last 36 years,” said Mi Casa’s Communications and Grants Manager Katharine Brenton. [...] Citywide Banks is pleased to announce the charity nominees for its next $5,000 Hand-Up Charity Donation and Facebook Fan Vote being held June 1-14, 2012. The public online event aims to raise awareness of Denver and Boulder charities and encourage other businesses to focus corporate giving and employee volunteering programs on local charities. Charity causes are nominated by Citywide Banks employees. The local community is invited to participate in the vote on Facebook to determine the $5,000 winning charity. The bank will also award two runner-up donations of $500 and $250 to two of the charities. Citywide Banks is also giving eligible voters a chance to enter to win a drawing for several prizes. [...] Citywide Banks opened its new branch at 1611 Canyon Boulevard in Boulder, Colorado today. The bank recently acquired the branch and a segment of customer relationships from Advantage Bank. The Boulder branch is now operating under the Citywide Banks name, expanding the brand to 14 locations across the Front Range. [...] Try to imagine the difficulty of going to someone’s front door in the middle of the night to tell them that their loved one has been involved in a tragedy. Imagine doing this, faithfully, year-after-year, for the next 20 years. That’s exactly what Peg Sale, an Account Executive at Citywide Banks, has done as a volunteer with the Arapahoe County Sheriffs Department. Peg was recently recognized for her dedicated service as a Victims Assistance Advocate with the Arapahoe County Victim’s Assistance Program (VAP) by Sheriff Grayson Robinson. [...] |
