Ledyard Gives $30,000 to Celebrate 30 Years

Nov 3, 2021 - To commemorate its 30^th Anniversary, Ledyard National Bank celebrated community partnerships by honoring ten local non-profit organizations who serve the Concord, Lake Sunapee and Upper Valley regions. Participating organizations included The Concord Coalition to End Homelessness, Hartford Dismas House, The Friendly Kitchen, Good Neighbor Health Clinic, Lake Sunapee Region VNA & Hospice, LISTEN, New Hampshire Children’s Trust, Twin Pines Housing, The Upper Valley Haven and West Central Behavioral Health.

Ledyard hosted a video contest for which each organization was invited to create a short video, featuring the importance of community in the work they do. The videos were posted to Ledyard’s celebration landing page and Facebook page, where every video reaction was counted as a vote from Oct 1^st through October 22nd. Ledyard thanks all our community members who joined the celebration and cast over 2,300 votes, helping them award a total of $30,000 between all ten organizations.

Kathy Underwood, Ledyard’s President and CEO, along with her team of Ledyard representatives, visited each organization to congratulate them. The Hartford Dismas House received the grand prize of $10,000 and West Central Behavioral Health placed second, receiving $7,500. The complete results can be found on on the contest landing page here.
