Fifth Third Bank’s 47 Central Florida branches recently collected more than $17,000 for the Camaraderie Foundation, an Orlando-based nonprofit that provides counseling services at a discounted rate to veterans and their families. Fifth Third matched $7,500 as part of the Veterans Day promotional campaign that ran from November through December.
“Fifth Third Bank wanted to show support for service members in a way that extends beyond just celebrating Veterans Day,” said Karen Dee, president and CEO of Fifth Third Bank (Central and North Florida). “They have served us, so we want to help them by not only improving their financial wellness, but their overall health, as well.”
The Camaraderie Foundation provides private counseling, spiritual comfort and emotional support to military service members and their families by matching them with local counselors at a highly discounted rate. By covering 75 percent of the cost of counseling, the organization ensures that military families receive the assistance they need.
