Federal Savings Bank Supports the American Cancer Society

Dover – Federal Savings Bank recently pledged $2,500 to sponsor the American Cancer Society’s Annual Relay for Life Walk talking place at the track of Spaulding High School in Rochester on June 25-26. This year marks the fourth year FSB has supported this worthy cause.

In addition to the corporate sponsorship a group of FSB employees along with a group of friends and family members, have been working diligently to raise additional funds. The team, which will actively participate in the overnight walk, have conducted raffles, held fundraisers through Tastefully Simply, Partylite and Lia Sophia and have organized a bake sale with all proceeds benefiting their relay team: Friends Smiling Back. The group has already accumulated over $2,000 in donations with several fundraising events still on the horizon.

“The Relay for Life is a great way for everyone to get involved with the ACS. It is a fun and meaningful way to not only raise money, but to remember and honor friends and family members who have been affected by cancer,” according to team co-captains and sisters Kimberly Smith and Kelly Glennon, who lost their father to pancreatic cancer just one year ago. “This is our way to help make a difference and support the millions of people impacted by this terrible disease,” they added. The Friends Smiling Back team’s next fundraiser is a June 4th yard sale taking place on Dover Point Road.

Since 1890, Federal Savings Bank has operated as a true community bank, a “mutual” bank. The bank has offices in Dover, Barrington, Durham, Portsmouth and Rochester. For more information, call toll free 1-800-462-2265, visit www.fsbdover.com or www.facebook.com/FederalSavingsBank.
