9/18/2009 - ARC partners with BB&T in Community-Building Effort
“We are very excited to have our longtime community friend, BB&T, as our partner in the BB&T Lighthouse Project,” said Marshall Butler, president of the Greater Richmond ARC. “Time and again, our friends at BB&T have demonstrated our mutual commitment to ‘creating a community of opportunity for all.’ We had a fun-filled and meaningful picnic this past Wednesday afternoon .”
BB&T's Chief Executive Officer Kelly King is calling the BB&T Lighthouse Project the biggest philanthropic effort in BB&T's 137-year history. The BB&T Lighthouse Project is a companywide community service and team-building effort that exemplifies BB&T's mission of making the communities in which we work better places to live. BB&T has set aside about $3 million for employees to use to make a positive impact on the lives of people in need. BB&T is going to fill that need and demonstrate the caring heart of an organization made up of 30,000 employees committed to much more than their own self-interest.
In the light of the economy, it is more important than ever for BB&T to help the communities its serves beyond lending, financial counseling and all the financial products and services we provide. The BB&T Lighthouse Project just shines a light in 2009 on the ongoing commitment BB&T has always had to make a real difference in our communities.
