Wells Fargo and Big Brothers Big Sisters Develop a Valuable Friendship

Stuart, FL – May 22, 2012 – Wells Fargo has recently donated $1,000 to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Palm Beach and Martin Counties (BBBS) at their Community Partner Breakfast. The bank also recently donated a large stuffed animal horse to the children participating in Big Brothers Big Sisters’ programs.  Furthermore, Wells Fargo has decided to join BBBS’ Site-Based Mentoring program and has recruited ten new mentors with the help of Joyce A. Lamoly, Store Manager & Vice President at Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in Salerno Village Square.

“We’re happy to help,” said Joyce Lamoly. “It is Wells Fargo’s mission to build strong communities, improve the quality of life, and make a positive difference.”

“It is the help of generous business like Wells Fargo that allows our organization to continue improving the lives of children in our community,” said Stacey Brownlow, Martin County Executive Director for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Palm Beach and Martin Counties. “We are so privileged to have so much support in Martin and Palm Beach County.”
