Community Features

Cascade Bank, the principal operating subsidiary of Cascade Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: CASB), announced today that its employees donated more than $75,000 to benefit United Way of Snohomish County during the Bank’s annual eight-week joint fundraising campaign.  

“Cascade Bank is one of our strongest partners,” said Penny Coyne, senior donor relations manager at United Way of Snohomish County. “Their commitment to the community is immense. Their employees give, advocate and volunteer not just at campaign time, but year round.”

The majority of Cascade’s donations came from employee payroll deductions, but additional funds were also collected during internal fundraising efforts including bake sales, an employee garage sale and raffles. 

“Cascade employees have long shown support for the United Way and it is extraordinary to see the level of giving remain consistent,” said Cascade Bank President and CEO Carol K. Nelson. 

In addition to monetary funds, Cascade employees also donated their time during the United Way’s Day of Caring.  This year, employees volunteered at three different non-profit organizations in Skagit, Snohomish and King Counties. 

Employees sorted and organized goods at Food Lifeline in Shoreline and painted and helped with landscaping efforts at The Landing in Sedro-Woolley and at Sherwood Community Services in Lake Stevens.
