A note from TS Bank: Join the #GivingTuesday712 movement!

Written by Katie Fourney    on November 12, 2019    in
As the presenting sponsor of #GivingTuesday712, TS Bank invites YOU to join the metro-wide, do good takeover on December 3rd!

Giving Tuesday helps to refocus our energy on the reason for the holiday season. The day was built by individuals, families, organizations, businesses and communities in countries around the world and millions of people have come together to champion the causes they believe in.

We are joining with SHARE Omaha to rally the metro community, including Southwest Iowa, around the common goal of doing good while celebrating and promoting all types of giving along. This is the time to learn about the critical work of metro area nonprofits and support their efforts.

We are thrilled that our TS Bank locations will serve as the official #GivingTuesday712 headquarters for Southwest Iowa activities. 

The challenge for you, your company and your friends:

A metro-wide, do good takeover on December 3rd would not be possible without TS Bank’s financial support of #GivingTuesday712!

TS Bank believes so strongly in giving back that they reinvest 10% of their pre-tax income back into the community, supporting projects like #GivingTuesday712 and offer their employees 50 hours of volunteer time off annually!
