HOLYOKE - PeoplesBank affirms its commitment to the IVHF with $5,000 donation to support local programming. 

Since the founding of the Hall of Fame in 1978, PeoplesBank has taken a strong position of leadership regarding the Hall and its programs including sponsorship of major events and its officers' serving on the Hall's board of directors  In 2003, PeoplesBank was awarded the IVHF William G. Morgan Award for its service to the community and the Volleyball Hall of Fame.  

"We are very thankful for the continued support from PeoplesBank," IVHF Executive Director George Mulry said. "Their generous donation will support our on-going youth programming in Western Massachusetts that includes boys and girls all-star games and tournaments as well as the IVHF's annual Induction Celebration."

The grant was made as part of the bank's Community Care charitable giving program which, in 2022, included $2.3 million in grants and sponsorships to thousands of non-profits in Western Massachusetts and Northern Connecticut.  

"PeoplesBank has a natural connection with the International Volleyball Hall of Fame – we both share Holyoke as our birthplace," said Matthew Bannister, PeoplesBank Senior Vice President for Marketing & Corporate Responsibility. "Past and present co-exist for the IVHF – preserving and honoring the history of volleyball, even as they are fostering the love of the sport in the next generation.  We’re proud to support the sport and the City, and to welcome the players and visitors coming from around the region and globe to Holyoke."

Salut, je suis Mariama Ciré KÉÏTA, Présidente de la Fédération Guinéenne de Volley-ball. Je suis ravie de faire la découverte de cette magnifique Banque Holyoke-people Bank. Comme nous sommes en Afrique Sub-saharienne, nous nous posons la question de savoir si toutes nous pourrions aussi bénéficier de l'assistance de PeoplesBank.

Cordiales salutations
