Bank of the Islands recently made its latest non-profit donation through its “We Love Our Islands” program. Rotarian Clark Rambo, a longtime island resident, was the lucky winner and selected the Jr. Wheels for Wheels Cycling Challenge, founded by Rotary’s Howard S. Danner, to receive the bank’s $2,000 donation.
This donation marks $148,600 given away to date through the Bank of the Islands’ “We Love Our Islands” program. It also represents the seventh donation since the bank doubled the weekly outlay for the program.
“We’re so pleased to support Wheels for Wheels with our latest donation,” said Bank of the Islands President Robbie Roepstorff. “Following Reverend Danner’s founding leadership, the San-Cap Rotarians have continued his cycling fundraiser.”
“As a result, in partnership with The Wheelchair Foundation, hundreds of wheelchairs have been donated to those in need of life-affirming mobility as far away as Barbados and Trinidad,” said Roepstorff. “This donation is a great way to salute the charitable works of our fellow islanders and show how much we appreciate being your island bank.”
Islanders can pick up a We Love Our Islands vehicle decal and learn more about the program at the bank’s Sanibel or Captiva office.
