Just seven banks across the entire country were honored with
Community Commitment Awards by the ABA Foundation in 2022. The ABA
represents the nation’s $23.7 trillion banking industry composed of
small, regional, and large banks that together employ more than 2
million people. Award winners were chosen by a field of nationally
recognized experts who chose the winning banks based on the
creativity and thoughtfulness of programs that embody the ideals of
corporate social responsibility and demonstrate success in
measurable terms.
Republic’s initiative, which united nine community banks to
complete funding for the Louisville Urban League’s Norton
Healthcare Sports and Learning Center and allowed the facility to
open in early 2021, was called out by the ABA as an example for
banks nationwide of how to make a difference in their
communities.
“At Republic, our commitment to community is second to none,”
said Republic Chair Steve Trager. “This is Republic’s 40th
Anniversary, and we have been committed to helping our communities
thrive for the entire 40 years of our existence. We’re honored to
be recognized by the preeminent voice of the banking industry with
this award, and proud to have played a role in bringing this
dynamic complex to life.”
“We received many strong entries this year but Republic Bank and
its partnership for the Louisville Urban League’s Norton Healthcare
Sports and Learning Center stood out among the pack,” said Lindsay
Torrico, executive director of ABA Foundation. “It’s wonderful to
see an organization identify a need within its community and
immediately get to work. We applaud Republic Bank for its
unwavering commitment to community and hope others throughout the
industry will be inspired to give back and drive community
change.”
“In just one year, we’re already seeing the exciting economic
and community-strengthening impact of this project from a regional
standpoint but especially in West Louisville,” said Republic
President and CEO Logan Pichel. “This recognition is all the more
significant because it highlights the power of partnerships in
coming up with creative solutions for the common good.”
The award will be presented during ABA’s Annual Convention on
Oct. 4 in Austin, Texas. To learn more about the ABA Foundation
