In announcing the pledge, LSA President Ted W. Goins, Jr. stated, “We are thrilled to receive this very generous gift from BB&T and we are grateful for their endorsement of our efforts to improve the lives of the elders of North Carolina.”
The BB&T gift will lend support to the construction and equipping of Trinity Glen, one of two nursing homes being built to replace LSA’s Lutheran Home – Winston-Salem. The building of this new home on Water Works Road will also be one of the most economically significant projects to take place in the area over the last 10 years.
C. Louis Moore, community bank group executive at BB&T stated, “The work done by LSA is truly amazing and benefits so many people. BB&T is proud to be LSA’s financial partner in this effort.”
LSA is a Salisbury-based healthcare organization serving elders across North Carolina through nursing homes, retirement communities, assisted living residences, and adult day services. The Keeping the Promise campaign will raise a portion of the funds needed for the construction of four nursing homes, renovations to existing homes, and the expansion of community-based services. To date, the campaign has raised $1.8 million of its $5 million goal.
