Centier Bank made a $5,000 community donation to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Indiana to help support the organization’s 2022 programs and events. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Indiana serves more than 1,280 youth annually ages 8 to 18 in Hamilton, Johnson, and Marion counties.
The organization partners with parents/caregivers, volunteers, schools, and the donors in the community to defend, ignite, and empower the potential of every child it serves. The Big Brothers Big Sisters mission is to create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth.
Caitlin Bain, Chief Development Officer for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Indiana, said the partnership with Centier Bank made a powerful impact on Central Indiana youth in 2022, as the organization returned to in-person activities for the first time in nearly three years.

Thank you to Centier Bank for making this event such a success.
