May 26, 2016

ENFIELD, Conn. /SPRINGFIELD, Mass., May 26, 2016 – Catherine Doner, a resident of Enfield, Conn., and associate portfolio manager, commercial real estate at Webster Bank, is an honoree of the bank's "80 Days of Giving" employee volunteer campaign.  The volunteer effort is part of Webster's 80th Anniversary celebration.  An awards ceremony was held May 3 at the Radisson Cromwell Hotel in Cromwell, Conn.  Doner's volunteer effort earned $1,000 for the nonprofit of her choice – Greater Springfield (Mass.) Habitat for Humanity, which has a resale home improvement store that supports the charity.

 

On Dec. 17, Doner organized stock, cleaned shelves, placed new merchandise out on the floor, polished furniture, and assisted at the checkout register at the Habitat Restore in Westfield, Mass. The furniture she helped display included a Windsor chair she donated.  Doner is also involved with the Circle of Faith team for the construction of Habitat's next new home on Allen Street in Springfield.

 

Doner said, "Habitat for Humanity is a faith-based organization whose core values mirror my job at Webster – providing housing and services."

 

The banker volunteer initiative, "80 Days of Giving," was launched October 11, 2015.  In all, 103 bankers nominated volunteer activities to receive one of the 80 grants.  The breadth and impact of participation stimulated even greater community involvement by Webster bankers who now contribute more than 125,000 volunteer hours annually.

 

Webster Bank is a leading regional bank serving businesses and consumers in the northeast.
