Bendigo Bank’s Koo Wee Rup Community Branch gave back to the community at its 2017 Community Grants Presentation Evening held at the Chandelier Cafe in Koo Wee Rup.
The evening began with trivia and prizes before moving on to the more formal announcements of the grant recipients.
“As a bank we are good with money, but it’s bigger than that. We are more interested in the good that money can do,” Koo Wee Rup Branch Manager Andrea Vincent said.
“We care about people and what they care about, and we know that people with a purpose make great things happen. We can see that by tonight’s event.
“This year we are so very pleased to announce our grant and sponsorship tally to be $43,950, which is an amazing amount to be giving out to community members of Koo Wee Rup.”
