With the employee base of CNB Bank & Trust being 66% female, women’s health issues are at the forefront. As a result, CNB Bank & Trust employees made this day of awareness personal. By paying to wear blue jeans and red CNB Bank & Trust t-shirts to work on Friday, February 5, employees raised money to be donated to the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women program.

With the regional bank president’s coming together to match employee donations, the bank as a whole had the honor of donating $1,152.00 in the fight for awareness, prevention, and treatment of this debilitating disease.
