“A key component of our bank’s culture is supporting the communities we serve, and the effort to raise money for local charities is a great testament to the caring spirit of our customers and employees,” said Liam Girard, President of Collegiate Peaks Bank. “Our entire team makes a point of serving on Boards and as volunteers for charities and non-profits that can use a helping hand.

Some of the many examples of the type of support organizations received from the Collegiate Peaks Bank team:
