The Countybank Foundation, established in 1971 representing Countybank and Greenwood Capital, donated $5,000 to the Lakelands Region YMCA. This follows a series of donations for the Greenwood YMCA’s recent community wellness expansion, located in the former Bowers-Rodgers Resale store in Uptown Greenwood.

The Countybank Foundation has a longstanding relationship with the Lakelands Region YMCA when it comes to giving. “The YMCA gives Greenwood residents a place where they can enhance their wellbeing and quality of life,” said David Tompkins, Commercial Banking Manager for Countybank. “Giving to the Lakelands Region YMCA allows us to support a community and service-based organization that has an impact across Greenwood.”

The Lakelands Region YMCA offers a variety of programs from afterschool and summer camps to fitness and sports. Its mission is centered on putting Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy mind, body, and spirit.

“We prioritize donating to local organizations to improve and support the communities we live and work in,” said John Wiseman, Director of Fixed Income for Greenwood Capital, “Lakelands Region YMCA does a great job in helping us meet that goal by providing afterschool care, evidence-based health intervention, and other programs that support families in our area.”

“The Lakelands Region YMCA is very appreciative of the Countybank Foundation’s continued support,” said Brian Harlan, Lakelands Region YMCA CEO. “Their contributions help us build better programs and facilities, and ultimately a better community.”
