Countybank Foundation makes $25,000 donation toward new YMCA Fitness Center

The Countybank Foundation, established in 1971 representing Countybank and Greenwood Capital, recently donated $25,000 to the Lakelands Region YMCA.

This donation represents an ongoing partnership with the Lakelands Region YMCA and will go toward Greenwood’s new fitness center. The fitness center, located in the former Bowers-Rodgers Resale store, is expected to open mid-year and will serve the Uptown Greenwood community.

The Countybank Foundation has a longstanding relationship with the Lakelands Region YMCA when it comes to giving. “It is important that the people in our community have a positive place to focus their energy,” said Tompkins. “Giving to the Lakelands Region YMCA allows us to support a community and service-based organization that has an impact across Greenwood.”

The Lakelands Region YMCA offers a variety of programs from afterschool and summer camps to fitness and sports. Its mission is centered on putting Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy mind, body, and spirit.

“The Lakelands Region YMCA is very appreciative of the Countybank Foundation’s continued support,” said Brian Harlan, Lakelands Region YMCA CEO. “Their contributions help us build better programs and facilities, and ultimately a better community.”
