Steeplecats Have Chance At $5,000 Donation

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — With some help from the online community, the North Adams SteepleCats will have an opportunity to earn a $5,000 donation from the Berkshire Bank Foundation’s $25,000 Giveaway to non-profit organizations in the area, Berkshire Bank announced Tuesday.
 
An exciting promotion from one of Northern Berkshire County’s banks will award $25,000 to area non-profit organizations, and the North Adams SteepleCats are asking for help from the community to assure themselves a portion of that donation. Through this promotion, the foundation will award $25,000 to nonprofit organizations in the bank’s four regions — Berkshire County and the Pioneer Valley in Massachusetts, southern Vermont and eastern/central New York.
 
Members of the community will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite nonprofit organization at the Berkshire Bank Facebook page. Those organizations receiving the most votes in each of the bank’s four regions will receive a grant of $5,000.00.
  
In order to vote, participants must visit the Berkshire Bank Facebook page, click “Like” and then click on the app titled “Summer of Excitement." Participants can vote online, one vote per person. Voting will take place from June 4 through Aug. 31 with winners announced in September.
