Richmond, Indiana – First Bank Richmond announced today that they will donate $10,000 to Richmond Parks and Recreation during the month of July 2020. The contribution supports the organization’s mission to grow the city’s built environment, connect the city’s destinations, protect the city’s natural resources and to celebrate the city’s offerings and accomplishments. These funds were specifically allocated to implement a new playground at Starr Park (311 North 15th Street). The addition of this park will make a huge impact to families within the area by promoting physical and mental well-being.
"First Bank has been instrumental in what we have been able to accomplish here at Richmond Parks and Recreation. From supporting programs to playgrounds and everything in-between, we know their community centered focus is what makes them who they are. We are lucky to have a bank that values their parks and what parks can provide to YOU. First Bank is the definition of a community supporter and they continue to amazing us with their generosity." - Denise Retz, Park Superintendent, Richmond Parks and Recreation
“First Bank’s donation toward the Starr Park Playground restoration follows contributions we’ve made over the past few years toward the new Middlefork Reservoir Playground and new Pickleball Courts at Clear Creek Park. We’ve also been a sponsor of many of their programs and events. Contributions to the Parks Department go directly back into the community and the new playground at Starr Park will serve many families and children in that area.” - Kimberly Poinsett, Vice President – Community Relations, First Bank Richmond
