My Bank First United Bank & Trust and Bowles Rice, some being former local West Virginia University Basketball players, partnered recently for the second annual Shootout for Charity. The goal was to raise awareness and funds for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Morgantown. Players on each team collected pledges prior to the event for each of the five contests: 3 point; horse; half court challenge; free throws and knock out. The pledges totaled $6,500.
R.L. Fisher, Senior Vice President and Chief Lending Officer of First United Bank & Trust, said, “One of our top priorities has always been our commitment to supporting the community and especially the non-profits that serve our community. It was a pleasure to participate in the Shoot Out and provide a gift to the local Ronald McDonald House.”
“We are grateful to First United Bank & Trust and Bowles Rice for choosing our charity to benefit from this great event,” said Eleanor
Reigel, Executive Director of the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Morgantown. “The support of the community plays an important role in helping us serve our families.”
