Bank of the Islands signs on as Landgraphics Toy Drive Donation Site

With a very short turnaround time, Bank of the Islands CEO Geoff Roepstorff is encouraging customers and fellow islanders to drop off unwrapped new toys at the Bank’s Sanibel office by Friday, December 7. The Bank is partnering with Landgraphics of Sanibel-Captiva which is spearheading this effort.

The toy drive will benefit foster children through the Children’s Network of Southwest Florida.

“Through their Landgraphics business, the Blackburn Family is known for their caring commitment to their landscaping and tree service clients and their community,” said Roepstorff. “It’s our pleasure to provide a drop-off location for donated toys. Our Bank will be filling the lobby box with new toys, and we hope we can count on our neighbors to contribute as well. No child should wake up on Christmas morning without a toy they can call their own.”

To leave time for wrapping and distribution before Christmas, all donations must be completed by Friday, December 7. To learn more, contact Lauren Blackburn of Landgraphics at 239-980-3409.

Bank customers and all islanders will be welcomed with freshly baked cookies, coffee and ice water when they bring their donations to the Bank at 1699 Periwinkle Way at the corner of Casa Ybel Road on Sanibel.
