Watertown Savings Bank President Brett Dean, awarded the $10,000 check in from the Customer Choice Awards to Renee Gaudette, Executive Director of the Watertown Boys & Girls Club.
On Tuesday, April 5, Watertown Savings Bank (WSB) distributed $85,000 to the 26 local community organizations chosen by their banking customers, in the bank’s 20th annual Customer Choice Awards. The ceremony was held at the Arsenal Center for the Arts in Watertown.
More than 200 bank employees and board members; representatives of the winning organizations; and town officials from Watertown, Waltham, and Belmont were in attendance.
This year’s total brings the grand total of funds distributed via this program to one million dollars.
The list of winners is below.
“We received more than 7,000 votes this year, setting a new record,” said CEO Ron Dean.
“The Watertown Boys and Girls Club was the top vote-getter, and were awarded $10,000. We congratulate all of the organizations for their hard work and dedication; they are all very deserving of these awards.”
Dollars awarded were based on the number of votes each organization received. With a maximum amount of $3,500, and this year’s top vote-getter receiving $10,000, all organizations with at least 70 votes received funds. Voting took place throughout 2015.
“The list of winners reflects the important work being done by non-profits and volunteer organizations throughout the communities we serve,” said Carole Katz, VP Marketing. “The awards night is a unique event that celebrates the efforts of the hard-working people who do so much to add to the quality of life in our local communities.”
