Planters Bank is kicking of its annual Season of Giving this year with a $60,000 donation to twelve area agencies throughout western Kentucky and Tennessee.
According to a news release, the Planters Bank Season of Giving is a bank tradition that has a goal of bringing awareness to non-profit organizations’ missions at the same time as fundraising for the organizations. President and CEO Elizabeth McCoy says the effort is more important than ever this year and, “As a community bank, it is our responsibility to give back to our community. The Season of Giving is a great way for our employees, our communities, and our non-profits to all come together for these great causes.”
There are two gift items for both Kentucky and Tennessee—those items are then sold in each branch to support the branch’s featured Season of Giving organization, with 100 percent of that purchase price donated directly to the organization.
Planters Bank is giving each supported organization a $5,000 donation before any product is even sold—also, the bank is donating $5 for every photo shared of the items in use, as well as $25 for every checking or savings account opened mentioning the Season of Giving when visiting a Planters Bank location.
