Bank of the Islands donates to Rotary Wheels for Wheels Challenge

Bank of the Islands recently made its latest non-profit donation through its “We Love Our Islands” program.  Longtime islander and Rotarian Clark Rambo was the lucky winner. Rambo selected the San-Cap Rotary’s Howard S. Danner, Jr. Wheels for Wheels Cycling Challenge to receive the Bank’s $2,000 donation.

This donation marks $148,600 given away to date through Bank of the Islands’ “We Love Our Islands” program. It also represents the seventh donation since the Bank doubled the weekly outlay for the program.

“We’re so pleased to support Wheels for Wheels with our latest donation,” said Bank of the Islands President Robbie Roepstorff. “Following Reverend Danner’s founding leadership, the San-Cap Rotarians have continued his cycling fundraiser. As a result, in partnership with The Wheelchair Foundation, hundreds of wheelchairs have been donated to those in need of life-affirming mobility as far away as Barbados and Trinidad. This donation is a great way salute the charitable works of our fellow islanders and show how much we appreciate being your island bank.”

All islanders are invited to visit the Bank’s Sanibel or Captiva office to pick up a vehicle decal and learn more about the “We Love Our Islands” program and how you and your favorite charity can become our next lucky winners.
