MBA and Member Banks Participate in Culminating Event with the American Red Cross for Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief

MBA and 17 participating member banks partnered with the American Red Cross over a 6 week period to assist in the response and recovery efforts of those affected by the devastation of Hurricane Sandy. Last week, the culminating event was held at the American Red Cross of the Chesapeake Region headquarters in Baltimore. We concluded the event by presenting the American Red Cross with a check reflective of the total amount contributed by all 17 banks and their communities, which was an incredible amount of $37,132.71.

We owe a special thanks to MBA member Russell Grimes, President & CEO, Carroll Community Bank, who led the initiative to partner with the Red Cross. We also owe a huge thank you to everyone who participated in this important initiative – the participating banks are listed below. As MBA’s Kathleen Murphy stated in the press release, “Support of the relief effort is just another way that the Maryland Banking Industry demonstrates its commitment to giving back.” Again, we greatly appreciate everyone’s generous support!
