Richmond, Indiana – First Bank Richmond announced today that they will donate $2,500 to Richmond Friends School during the month of March 2021. The mission of Richmond Friends School is providing a quality educational experience for each child, creating an environment that nurtures individual intellectual, emotional, creative, spiritual, and physical gifts within a community that is explicitly framed by principles of the Religious Society of Friends.
“We are thrilled with First Bank Richmond's $2,500.00 contribution. Among other things, the award allows RFS to continue contracting additional cleaning and sanitizing work. This support enables RFS teachers and staff to remain focused on supporting students and their families.”
Patti Peterson - Development Officer, Richmond Friends School
“First Bank is pleased to support the work of the Richmond Friends School. Covid has required some added cleaning expenses for the school this past year and we have sponsored the “Read-a-thon” for the past several years.”
