MEMPHIS, Tenn., Sept. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- When customers of National Bank
of Commerce sign up for the bank's "Totally Free Checking" account, they'll
also be aiding in the fight against childhood cancer through a special program
serving St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
As a customer incentive, the bank will donate $10 for each free checking
account that is opened. "Customers must specify that they want NBC to make
the donation to St. Jude, or they can elect to receive a gift. However, it is
our hope that people will open their hearts and give to the children at St.
Jude," said Bill Menkel, president of National Bank of Commerce. "Anyone who
knows of St. Jude's valuable research or who has known a family that has
suffered through cancer will appreciate the value of each dollar donated."
The program will run from September 17 - mid-November and is being
conducted only in the Memphis, Arkansas and Mississippi National Bank of
Commerce locations.
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, in Memphis, Tennessee, was founded
by the late entertainer Danny Thomas. The hospital is an internationally
recognized biomedical research center dedicated to finding cures for
catastrophic diseases of childhood. The hospital's work is supported through
funds raised by the American Lebanese Syrian Associated Charities (ALSAC).
ALSAC covers all costs not covered by insurance for medical treatment rendered
at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Families without insurance are
never asked to pay. For more information, please visit http://www.stjude.org.
