MIAMI, Fla. – Chapman Partnership announced Thursday the receipt of a donation of $100,000 from BB&T Bank to support the nonprofit organization’s work of providing holistic services to help the homeless.

"Chapman Partnership is exceedingly blessed, and extremely proud and grateful, to have the strong support and involvement of BB&T Bank and its local city executive and Senior Vice President Rob Bowlby,” Trish Bell, chairman of the board, said.

Besides financial sponsorship, bank employees volunteer to serve food to the homeless at the Chapman Partnership assistance centers. Last year, BB&T volunteers also painted dormitories and replaced storage lockers and bed linens at the North Center in downtown Miami.

“These contributions to help the homeless get back on their feet and Rob Bowlby's substantial leadership presence on our board of directors sets an extremely high standard for community service by one of our City's leading corporate citizens," Bell said.
