Bendigo Community Bank Cannonvale-Proserpine rewarded the Whitsunday community at their annual general meeting and community event last Wednesday, November 15.
In total, $1000 was gifted to three local organisations, which will aid the community.
Whitsunday United FC were awarded the major prize for the evening, with $500 given to the community sporting club.
“Thank you on behalf of the Club for hosting tonight’s event and for involving local clubs and organisations, it’s a great initiative. Our prize will be put towards our new goal nets,” said Club representative Allan Milostic.
Rotary Club of Airlie Beach were awarded $300, which will go towards a local student.
“We are co-sponsoring a year 11 Proserpine State High School student to attend the National Youth Science Forum in Brisbane in January. Tonight’s $300 prize will form part of our contribution to her travels,” thanked Merewyn Wright from Rotary Club of Airlie Beach.
The last prize of $200 was awarded to the Whitsunday Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
“What a wonderful event, thank you Bendigo Community Bank! The Chamber will put the prize towards one of its local business education events next year, with a focus on financial management and banking in regional businesses,” said Chamber Board member Melinda Louise Hutchings.
“At Bendigo Bank, our customers and the community always win. Our success is based on our profit-with-a-purpose model which sees around 50% of the profits generated by our independently owned and operated Cannonvale-Proserpine branch invested back into the community” said Community Bank Cannonvale-Proserpine Chairman Mark Henry.
“Over the past seven years we have invested just over $178,600 into local schools, social programs, sporting groups, arts and culture events, conservation initiatives, and community prizes.”
