SANFORD — The New England Patriots’ streak of high-scoring victories in October was good news for fans; it was also good news for the York County Shelter Programs and the families and individuals it supports.
As part of SIS Bank’s Touchdowns for Good campaign, the bank has announced a donation of $700 to YCSP. Prior to the 2014 season, SIS Bank pledged to donate $50 to a local nonprofit organization for every touchdown pass thrown by the Patriots during the team’s 2014 regular-season schedule. Each month features a different nonprofit recipient.
“Touchdowns for Good gives us another great reason to cheer for the Patriots. We’re very excited that they had such a high-scoring month and that we were able to assist the York County Shelter,” said SIS Bank President & CEO Mark T. Mickeriz. “Everyone deserves a warm, safe place to sleep during the winter months, and we’re honored to partner with such a wonderful organization.”
YCSP, based in Alfred, operates 23 houses for homeless individuals and families throughout southern Maine. The homes provide residents with shelter, personal growth opportunities and connections with community resources, with a goal of ending homelessness.
After the Patriots threw four touchdown passes in September, SIS Bank donated $200 to Waban Projects. Touchdowns for Good supported Grahamtastic Connection in November and YMCA’s of Maine in December. A running tally of Touchdowns for Good donations can be found at: banksis.us/touchdowns-for-good.
