Bank offers community to pick donation recipient

A school cleanup, neighborhood cleanup, beautification of a community, a painted mural or canned food drive.

There are five options Great Florida Bank, 741 W. Boynton Beach Blvd., is offering residents to vote as to which will receive a $2,500 check from the bank.

The free funding is part of the bank’s “Building 7 Great Communities Campaign” in which it is entering seven communities in South Florida including, Boca Raton, Miami and Boynton Beach.

The Boynton Beach branch is having its grand opening at 5:30 p.m. Sept. 2, in which the winning project would be announced, said Terrence Brown, the bank's chief marketing officer.

Brown said his bank considers itself a local community bank, one which wants to fully know each community it enters.

“We wanted to come up with an idea that would get to the heart of the neighborhood,” he said. “Especially now with budgets cuts, we wanted to do something to help.”

Choose one of the following potential community enhancement projects at www.greatfloridabank.com/7greats and vote online.

Great Florida Bank is headquartered in Coral Gables, and was established on June 30, 2004 as a state-charted commercial bank.

Brown said Boynton Beach was a very high traffic spot and good market for deposits that would add liquidity to the bank.

“It is a high-producing location,” he said.
