TowneBank Donates $50,000 to Camp Corral to Support Programs for Children of Wounded Warriors

RALEIGH, N.C., August 11, 2021 (Newswire.com) - Camp Corral, a leading provider of support and enrichment opportunities for the children of this nation's wounded, ill, and fallen military heroes, today announced that it received a $50,000 donation from the TowneBank Foundation, which will support a wide range of summer camps and resource programs tailored to the unique experiences of military children.

"The local communities where TowneBank has a presence across Virginia and North Carolina are home to vibrant military and veteran populations, so there is a strong need for holistic programs supporting these families," said Leigh Butler Longino, Chief Executive Officer at Camp Corral. "We'd like to thank TowneBank Foundation for its generous support as we continue growing to provide support programs for military children not only during the summer, but also throughout the rest of the year."

Camp Corral's programs are designed to provide respite, build peer-support connections, strengthen self-confidence, and reinforce coping skills for the children of wounded warriors. In addition to its annual summer camps, the organization launched its first-ever Family Camp Retreats in 2021, which focus on providing opportunities for respite and connections within the family unit and with other military-connected families.

"TowneBank is committed to supporting military-connected children and families in North Carolina, Virginia, and beyond," says Bob Aston, TowneBank executive chairman. "We are proud to partner with Camp Corral as they work to enrich the mental and physical well-being of this important population through their life-changing opportunities and programming."  

As part of its focus to serve the community, TowneBank established the TowneBank Foundation in 2001, and has provided charitable grants and donations to hundreds of non-profit organizations throughout Virginia and North Carolina.
