Liberty Bank's Showing of "It's a Wonderful Life" Draws Huge Crowd

The Tradition of Showing a True Classic Film Continues

The 13th annual showing of “It’s a Wonderful Life” movie at the historic Pickwick Theatre in Park Ridge on Dec. 7 was to a near-capacity crowd. An estimated 800+ were also entertained with caroling by the Willow Academy Chamber Choir in Renaissance Gowns and a mini-concert of Christmas music by Ralph Cox on the theatre’s historic electric organ. The holiday tradition was hosted to benefit the Park Ridge Community Fund (PRCF) and sponsored by Liberty Bank for Savings.

Liberty also donated an iPad Air for a raffle and here, Gina Carcione, Branch Manager of Liberty Bank, left, gives the iPad to raffle winner, Kathleen Schreiber of Edison Park and her daughter, Maggie, an 8th grader at St. Juliana School. Between entry donations at the door and the iPad raffle, almost $3,000 was raised for PRCF.

“Liberty Bank is proud to be part of Park Ridge since 2005 and be the annual sponsor of this classic beloved film,” Carcione said. Liberty will be celebrating its 117th year in business during 2015. For more information on Liberty Bank, visit www.libertybank.com.
