"At BHG, giving is an integral part of the company's identity," said Meghan Crawford-Hamlin, President of BHG's Institutional Division. "A core value of the BHG's culture is ‘leading with love,' which encompasses genuine care through acts of generosity, compassion, and fostering a sense of community."

According to data from the Independent Community Bankers of America®, there are nearly 50,000 community bank locations nationwide, employing nearly 700,000 Americans and representing the only physical banking presence in one in three U.S. counties.

BHG is offering the $5,000 giveaway to highlight the importance of local banks to their neighborhood economies.
