Wells Fargo Supports
School
Valerie Newton
Elizabethtown,
NC - Elizabethtown Primary School principal Cheryl White
Smith was particularly excited when Judy Harrelson,
Vice-President for the Elizabethtown branch of Wells Fargo
came walking through the door with check in hand. Ms.
Harrelson presented the $1,000 grant money to Mrs. Smith as
part of Wells Fargo's Community Partners program and the
Wells Fargo Foundation.
Through the program, branch employees
select organizations or groups that are delivering important
services in the local community. The Community Partners
program came about as a result of combining Wachovia with
Wells Fargo.
"This is a way in which Wells Fargo
helps local service organizations in its community banking
states," said Mrs. Harrelson. "We are so excited to bring
this giving program to Bladen County."
"A hallmark of
Wells Fargo is local decision-making and local involvement,"
said Mrs. Harrelson. "We'll continue to make grants of all
sizes, but through the Community Partners program our branch
employees are given the opportunity to support causes
important to them on a local level with a $1,000 grant."
Mrs. Smith
stated that the money will be used in the classroom for
students.
