This fall, every Alliance Bank employee was challenged to find one person in their community who is giving back – then write and deliver a note of gratitude and appreciation to that deserving individual. Of those recognized, 10 were chosen to receive $100 to be given on their behalf to their charity of choice.

"Alliance Bank’s We ‘Note’iced Award recipients truly embody that spirit of altruism,” said bank president Terry Stevens. “They also demonstrate the power of giving and the ability to inspire others to do the same. With deep gratitude, we honor their leadership, commitment and dedication."
