Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2015 — Your Community Bank was recently named the “Most Philanthropic Company” among medium companies by Business First of Louisville.

Representatives from the company accepted the award during the publication’s Partners in Philanthropy event on Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2015.

“Your Community Bank is our name and our employees try to live up to that every day,” James Rickard, CEO of Your Community Bankshares, Inc., the holding company for Your Community Bank said through a press release. “We’re grateful to be honored and this recognition encourages us to do more.”

“Partners in Philanthropy” is an annual event presented by Business First. It awards companies that show leadership and financial support to local charities and organizations. This is the third time the company has received an award in the medium company category — companies with revenue between $10 million and $49.99 million.

In 2013, Your Community Bank was ranked number one in the medium company category; last year they were in the top five in the category.

Your Community Bank’s philanthropic efforts focus on education, health care and regional economic development. In 2014, Your Community Bank and its Charitable Foundation awarded $309,715 to deserving organizations whose work positively impacts and improves the communities where its employees live and work.

Your Community Bank’s employees also donated more than 4,000 volunteer hours to worthy causes in 2014.

“Your Community Bank is driven by the belief that relationships are at the core of our success,” said Kevin Cecil, bank president and CEO. “We uphold a commitment to support the communities where we live and work. The company has chosen to specifically support education, healthcare and regional economic development because we believe they are essential to the overall development and well-being of our communities.”
