Bank of the Islands gives to Big Arts
Bank of the Islands recently made its latest non-profit donation through its “We Love Our Islands” program. The lucky winner, Wendy Harriman, was spotted with a “We Love Our Islands” decal on her vehicle, winning her the right to select which local non-profit organization would receive a charitable contribution from Bank of the Islands. Harriman chose to donate the bank’s $500 to Big Arts. That donation marks $79,800 given away to date through Bank of the Islands’ We Love Our Islands program.
“Bank of the Islands is proud to be a longstanding supporter of our island community through this program, volunteering and other sponsorships,” said Willy Ocasio, Bank of the Islands Vice President and Sanibel-Captiva Office Manager. “Beyond this donation, we are a proud sponsor of Big Arts March 22nd fundraising gala, and hope to see our island neighbors and customers there. We congratulate Wendy for her choice. It’s a great way to show how much we appreciate being your island bank!” All islanders are invited to visit the bank’s Sanibel or Captiva office to learn more about the “We Love Our Islands” program and how you and your favorite charity can become our next lucky winners.
Bank of the Islands, a name synonymous with island community banking since 1974, is located at 1699 Periwinkle Way, at the corner of Casa Ybel Road, on Sanibel. The Captiva office is at 14812 Captiva Drive, next to the Captiva Post Office.
