Since our inception in 2009, First Florida Integrity Bank has planned, hosted and underwritten
its own golf tournament to benefit two different local children's charities each year. So far, the
organization has been able to raise over $485,000 for these Local organizations. Benefitting
organizations have included the Ricky King Children's Fund, Blessings in a Backpack of SWFL,
Naples Equestrian Challenge, Friends of Foster Children Forever, PACE Center for Girls, Grace
Place, Voices for Kids of SWFL, Laces of Love, Eden Autism Services, Quest, Special Needs
Children's Fund and Youth Haven. First Florida Integrity Bank also developed a Community
Reinvestment Team that participates in local volunteer events every month. The employees of
the bank built a group they have named Project Donation. Each Friday, employees may "dress
down" for a contribution of $1 each week. That money is then allocated to needy and deserving
families in our local community that are in desperate need of assistance.
