TWO DAYS Left to Vote for your Favorite Non-Profit in Bank's Annual Customer Choice Awards

December, 2014- Watertown Savings Bank (WSB) CEO Ron Dean has announced that once again, the bank will distribute $75,000 in customer choice awards in 2015. The program, in its 19th year, has distributed more than $800,000 to more than 100 local non-profits.
How it works: Anyone with a Watertown Savings Bank account can vote. Every customer gets one vote. WSB customers vote for their favorite local, non-profit organization. Every qualified non-profit that earns at least one percent of the total votes received is awarded funds. Funds are distributed according to the voting results. To qualify the organization must serve the local community in some way and have 501c(3) status. Religious and political organizations are ineligible. Charitable organizations within a church community are eligible.
Bank customers can go to the watertownsavings.com homepage to cast their vote. The online voting system lists several different organizations from each of the six towns where there are bank branches: Watertown, Arlington, Belmont, Lexington, Newton, and Waltham. These are not the only eligible organizations. There is a place to “write-in” an organization’s name, if it is not already listed.
The deadline to vote is Wednesday, December 31st. Those without access to a computer can pick up paper ballots at any WSB branch location. This year’s top vote-getter will receive $5,000! Funds will be distributed at an awards ceremony in March. For further information please call 617-928-2336; or e-mail: kcronin@watertownsavings.com.
