Our employees enjoyed seeing familiar faces at the “State Fair” fundraising and social event to benefit Ben-Hem Elementary School. The carnival games and live auction were a blast and a lot of attendees made a good run at winning Mr. and Mrs. Ben-Hem with their state fair attire. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table, we hope you enjoyed the cards and other giveaways.
Steven M. Sousa, executive vice president and chief operating officer of MutualOne Bank and a MutualOne Charitable Foundation trustee, announced today that the Foundation has awarded $10,000 to ACCEPT Education Collaborative, a nonprofit educational organization that serves students with disabilities from a number of MetroWest school districts including Natick and Framingham.
The grant will provide for a universally accessible poured rubber surface to create an outdoor play environment at the new ACCEPT Learning Center to be located at 4 Tech Circle in Natick. The play space will provide safe access for wheelchairs and children with physical challenges.
“We support the ACCEPT goal of allowing students to maximize opportunities and minimize disabilities at the new Learning Center,” said Sousa. “The new outdoor play space will be accessible to children of all abilities, and the Foundation is pleased to help make that happen.”
St. Patrick’s Day folklore states that wearing green makes you invisible to leprechauns and if you are not wearing green you may get pinched by those pesky creatures. With that tradition in mind, our employees got out their best green outfits and St. Patrick’s Day accessories to celebrate the holiday.
Steven M. Sousa, executive vice president and chief operating officer of MutualOne Bank, announced today that the Bank has awarded $4,200 to benefit the Natick Historical Society. The award was made at the conclusion of the Bank’s most recent Checking for Charity initiative, which promised a $10 donation to be shared equally by the Natick Historical Society and the Framingham History Center for every new personal or business checking account opened during the promotion.
“I would like to extend my warmest thanks to MutualOne Bank for their support of our operations this year,” stated Executive Director Aaron M. Dougherty. “This donation helps us to welcome Natick 3rd Grade classrooms for their annual field trip to our museum, organize public programming that explores our past and present, and assist guests in researching their community, homes, and family. MutualOne’s Checking for Charity campaign will enable us to continue carrying out our mission in 2017, making sure that Natick residents are reminded of what a special place Natick really is.”
We were proud to be the presenting sponsor at the “Putting for Patients” Mini Golf Tournament at Natick High School. Friends and neighbors were greeted by Mo as they came in to “take their best shot” and help raise money for the Jimmy Fund.
We were proud to participate in the most recent Reality Fair at Framingham High School. Designed to give students a glimpse at what’s to come, participants pretending they were 25 years old tackled real life scenarios – work, car, housing, bills – as well as unexpected events.
As volunteers, members of our team worked with the students, reviewing activity tracking sheets and helping them understand how to ensure their expenses didn’t exceed the income.
