Richmond, Indiana – First Bank Richmond announced today that they will donate $10,000 to Ivy Tech Foundation during the month of July 2020. The contribution is the second of ten installments totaling $100,000, that will be made over the next ten years. The contribution supports the organization’s mission to partner with donors to invest in Ivy Tech Community College students, faculty, and programs to build stronger communities and a better Indiana. These funds were specifically allocated to the purchase of a state of the art, interactive video wall on display in the atrium of Johnson Hall.
I want to thank First Bank Richmond for their generous support of the video wall as well as their strong support of the Ivy Tech Richmond campus. The First Bank Richmond Video Wall technology in Johnson Hall has created many opportunities including classroom enhancement experiences, recognition, recruitment, and awareness initiatives, plus more! On behalf of our students, thank you for making a difference at Ivy Tech Richmond. – Valerie Ray, Executive Director of Development, Ivy Tech Community College - Richmond
