Proving that a minute can matter, Tompkins Bank of Castile has kicked-off the Community Minute Challenge, a contest that invites participants to vote on the bank’s Facebook page and rewards local not-for-profits with a total of $10,000 in much-needed funds.
The first round began August 17 and will run through August 31. The public is invited to watch one-minute videos produced by participating non-profits in Genesee, Wyoming, Livingston, Monroe and Orleans counties, and then vote for their favorite. Each video explains how the non-profit will use the awarded funds. The contest will run in four different quarters and will award $2,500 to each quarterly winner.
Competing in this round are: Going to the Dogs Rescue in Wyoming County, Community Action of Genesee and Orleans County, United Way of Genesee County’s Backpack Program, Mary Cariola Children’s Center of Rochester, GO ART! and Sweet Adelines Chorus of Rochester. To show support, participants should “like” Tompkins Bank of Castile’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/TompkinsBankofCastile), click on the Community Minute Challenge app and then select their favorite non-profit. Each individual can vote once per day during the contest period.
A second round of this contest will launch in October with details posted to Tompkins Bank of Castile’s Facebook page.
