When Centerstate Bank opened its first branch in Palm Coast Jan. 9 it wanted to show its commitment to the community by sponsoring a fundraiser to area charities. It asked residents to pick their five favorite nonprofits to be beneficiaries, each of which would receive $500, including Grace Community Food Tabernacle, Flagler County Education Foundation, Flagler Habitat for Humanity, Flagler County Police Athletic League, and Flagler Humane Society. It then asked community members for its first choice, which residents picked as the Flagler Humane Society, donating an additional $3,000 to the organization.
On hand March 20 for the presentation of the check were, from top left, Centerstate board members Dave Zaslavsky; Tim Conner and Bill Smith, flanked by Flagler Humane Society executive director Amy Wade-Corotenuo and Centerstate branch manager Maria Lavin-Sanhudo and senior vice president Garry Lubi.
