HOULTON, Maine — Make-A-Wish Maine was the recent recipient of funds raised by employees of a Katahdin Trust Company.
“Once a month Katahdin Trust employees can donate a minimum of $1 to participate in our Casual Because We Care program,” explains Krista Putnam, vice president of marketing. “We appreciate all that Make-A-Wish does to help make dreams come true for children and their families. We were excited to work together and help make a difference in our communities.”
Katahdin Trust employees can dress casually on the second Friday of each month in support of various non-profit organizations throughout Maine. Each employee that participates in “Casual Because We Care Days” donates a minimum of $1 in exchange for the privilege to dress casually and wear jeans. Proceeds are sent quarterly to a pre-selected non-profit organization.
Employees at Katahdin Trust’s Scarborough branch presented a $639 check to Make-A-Wish. Participants included left to right: Samantha Elliott, Make-A-Wish Maine; and Katahdin Trust staff members Scott Dillon, Jim Amabile, Vicki Bessette, Devin Rolph, Arianna McGraw and Chris Case.
