It’s Random Acts of Kindness Day on Friday, February 17, 2017. In recognition of this special day, NebraskaLand Bank is presenting donations to the 2016 My Fair Share recipients.
Each year, the Employees of NebraskaLand Bank nominate various organizations in our communities to be the recipients of monetary donations contributed by the Bank Employees. The “My Fair Share” program allows the Employees of NebraskaLand Bank to decide what percentage of their contribution will directly benefit each organization.
The recipients of the 2016 My Fair Share Program are:
- North Platte Gift of Hope
- North Platte Bridge of Hope Child Advocacy Center
- North Platte Adopt-A-Backpack Program
- Kearney Area Animal Shelter
- Kearney Family Advocacy Network
Pledges that will be awarded to these organizations total over $11,000.00. Approximately $90,000.00 has been donated since the program’s inception in 2004.
