Atlantic Bay Mortgage (ABMG) has established ABCares. ABCares is a two pronged approach to helping our local community. The first aspect is Atlantic Bay Mortgage employees working in the community to help those in need. The other aspect involves giving to the community.
Each month ABMG donates $5,000 to those in our communities who are in need of financial assistance. Nominations are received and through a public voting process, five recipients are given funds to support their organization. Past recipients are: Speak Up 5K, Missing in America Project, The Family of Officer Brian Jones and Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
According to their website, http://www.atlanticbay.com/abcares/ you can decide who may receive the $5000 donation. Mark your calendars and nominate your favorite charity. Additional information follows:
