Professional Bank Makes 5-Year Commitment to Support Easter Seals South Florida Following the Success of the Bank’s First Anniversary Celebration

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 15, 2009 -- Professional Bank recently made a five-year commitment to support Easter Seals South Florida following their recent partnership for the Bank’s first anniversary event to raise money for people with special needs. Throughout the night, over 400 people showed their support by participating in the silent auction and raffle while they enjoyed cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and good company. All proceeds were donated to Easter Seals South Florida.

The silent auction was a success in raising several thousand dollars for items such as Tiger Woods autographed memorabilia and American Airline tickets to the Caribbean as well as a collection of 24 signed lithographs by famous graphic designers entitled “punc’t” donated by And Partners and Neenah Paper.

Students served Hors d’oeuvres from the Easter Seals Culinary Arts High School, and a cake was made by one of the graduate students to show their appreciation.

“Professional Bank is looking forward to many more opportunities to partner with Easter Seals South Florida,” said Dr. Lawrence Schimmel, Chairman of the Board, Professional Bank. “The Bank has had a successful first year serving professionals of the community, and we are proud to be in a position to support such a worthy cause.”

“Employees and customers of Professional Banks are supporting Easter Seals beyond the Bank’s commitment by volunteering, attending events, and even participating in the silent auctions,” said Gary D. Moss, President and Chief Executive Officer, Professional Bank. “This kind of dedication takes the commitment beyond the corporate and into the personal relationships building stronger ties between the two organizations.”

“Easter Seals South Florida is honored to partner with Professional Bank to create solutions and change lives for children and adults with disabilities and their families in the local community”, said Luanne Welch, President and CEO, Easter Seals South Florida. “We appreciate the generosity demonstrated by Professional Bank Staff, Clients, and Special Friends this evening and look forward to celebrating many more milestones for the bank and the individuals we serve.”
