Metropolitan Commercial Bank Supports Gold Coast International Film Festival with Sponsorship Donation

Bank Continues to Build Ties in the Great Neck Community

Metropolitan Commercial Bank recently presented the Gold Coast Arts Center — based in Great Neck, New York — with a $2,500 donation in support of the Arts Center’s week-long International Film Festival. The Festival, which took place from November 9 through November 15, showcased award-winning indie films and exclusive Long Island premieres. Metropolitan Commercial Bank’s support of the Film Festival is another example of the Bank’s commitment to being an active member — and developing mutually rewarding, long-term relationships — in the communities where its banking centers are located.

“Metropolitan Commercial Bank is always looking for new avenues to contribute to Great Neck and the surrounding neighborhoods,” stated Laura Capra, Senior Vice President and Head of Retail Banking. “We are honored to be part of the Gold Coast International Film Festival — an event that has become a major showcase for indie films on Long Island, attracting participants and attendees both locally and globally. The Bank continues to seek out opportunities that allow us to foster closer relationships with the residents, businesses and non-profit organizations in and around the communities we serve.”
