Bank of America Houston, Texas & United Way:
Bank of America- Houston, Texas sponsored a bingo
at Knights of Columbus Bishop Odin council 2917, benefiting the Texas Gulf Coast United Way.
The employees from B of A branches in Conroe to Galveston and Beaumont to Katy participated in an
evening of bingo on September 24, 2002. The event was held at the Knights of Columbus Bishop Odin
council 2917 hall.
Approximately 500 bankers from Bank of America participated in the worthy cause to raise funds for
United Way. To add some extra spirit the senior managers of Bank of America put on a skit based on
the movie Grease. A great time was had by all. Deborah Cannon, President of Bank of America Houston,
stated that this was the first time that all the business units were represented at a function like
this and over $11,000 was raised for United Way.
Mark your calendars for next year. BofA chair person, Wanda Champ, stated that they had so much
fun they were going to definitely work on a repeat evening of fun.
It's the spirit of charity, that brought Bank of America, United Way and Knights of Columbus council
2917 together as a team, to do this wonderful work. Charity is the primary principle of the Knights of Columbus.
