As a result of Prevail Bank’s Community Shred Day event in Wisconsin Rapids, $2,227 was raised for United Way of South Wood & Adams Counties, supporting families and individuals in need throughout the area.
Both Prevail Bank and Bank-A-Count pledged to donate $1 for every pound of paper shredded, up to a $1,000 each --- and the community rose to the challenge, bringing in a whopping 1,715 pounds of documents to be safely destroyed and recycled. The public chipped in an additional $227 in donations, bringing the total gift to $2,227.
A special check presentation was held at United Way. Tari Jahns, United Way CEO (center) accepted the big check from Taylor Doescher, Prevail Bank Branch Manager and Nathan Quinnell, Prevail Bank CEO/President.
“This event was a win-win,” said Doescher. “We helped people protect their personal information while supporting a cause that makes a real difference right here in our community.”
Prevail Bank is a community bank that is continuously looking for ways to give back, support those pursuing dreams, and make things better in central Wisconsin.
