Fargo, North Dakota – As part of Giving Hearts Day, Gate City Bank announced donations to six local charities totaling $125,000.
“One of the favorite parts of my role is when I get to tell a charity that we’re able to provide them with funding and make that donation. You can hear pure joy in their acceptance of a donation,” said Amanda Torok, the bank’s Senior Vice President of Culture.
The receivers of the donations were revealed by Torok on Thursday morning. Creative Care for Reaching Independence received the greatest gift of $100,000.
Each of the other five neighborhood charities received $5,000. The bank’s offerings, according to Torok, are one way Gate City is commemorating its 100th birthday.
“It’s a big day for us to be a part of and we really look forward to this day every year to show our support for all the great charities in our community,” said Torok.
