On Tuesday, March 28, Watertown Savings Bank (WSB) will distribute $75,000 to the 30 local community organizations chosen by its banking customers, in the bank’s 21st annual Customer Choice Awards, bank officials announced.
“Our Customer Choice Awards program is one of which we are particularly proud,” said CEO Ronald Dean. “The list of winners reflects the important work being done by non-profits and volunteer organizations throughout the communities we serve.”
Dollars awarded are based on the number of votes each organization received. All organizations that received one percent of the total number of votes are being awarded funds. The bank divided $75,000 by the percentage of votes received, with $3,500 as the maximum amount and $5,000 awarded to the organization with the most votes. Congratulations to all the winners, and thank you for all that you do in our communities!
Voting took place from September-December 2016.
