Sagebrush would like to thank Wells Fargo Bank for their amazing donation of $11,200 to Sagebrush. Their donation is great appreciated. Wells Fargo has been supporting Sagebrush since the mid 90s, giving over a quarter million to the event and the nonprofits it benefits since then. Mike McEntee, Senior Vice President and Regional Manager for Wells Fargo, is excited about the new Sagebrush fundraising model, because it allows the bank to support so many nonprofit organizations at the same time.

“Wells Fargo is proud to support Sagebrush, which is working to strengthen our communities. We share our success within Central Oregon by giving back to nonprofits that address vital community needs and issues. It’s about thoughtful investing of our resources where our team members and customers live and work. It is an integral part of our vision and values.”

Wells Fargo’s community outreach goes beyond Sagebrush. In 2010, the bank donated $2.1 million to Oregon schools and nonprofits. In addition to these funds, the Wells Fargo Bank volunteer program, “2010 Summer of 25,000 Hours” resulted in 2,433 employees giving 77,367 volunteer hours to 579 nonprofits. That adds up to a great big impact in our communities!
