Effingham, IL-(Effingham Radio)- Washington Savings Bank is proud to announce the success of its Annual Give a Heart Fundraiser, which raised an impressive $1,000 to support local heart health initiatives. Thanks to the generosity of customers, employees, and community members—along with a matching donation from Washington Savings Bank—$500 will be donated to The Prairie Heart Institute at St. Anthony’s Memorial Hospital, and $500 will support the Sarah Bush Lincoln Heart Center.
Throughout February, Washington Savings Bank branches invited customers to purchase paper hearts for $1 each, with every dollar going directly toward heart health programs. The bank matched a portion of the funds raised, further amplifying the impact of the community’s contributions.
“We are incredibly grateful for the support from our customers and employees,” said Elaine Buehnerkemper, Senior Vice President. “Heart health is a cause that touches so many lives, and this fundraiser is a great example of how small donations can add up to make a big difference.”
Washington Savings Bank remains committed to giving back to the community and supporting causes that make a difference. For more information about Washington Savings Bank and its community initiatives, visit washingtonsavings.net.
