[CAPP] Local Program to Help People in Need

[Diane J PIETRZAK]

Dear Colleagues,
 
Umpqua Bank is partnering with local radio stations to sponsor the annual Wish Upon a Star program.  This important holiday program grants the wishes of individuals in the community who can't get what they need on their own.
 
Examples of past gifts include:
 
- Providing a veteran a motorized scooter to increase his mobility
 
- Helping a homeless family who recently moved off the street with basic apartment furnishings
 
- Installing a wheelchair ramp for a child with muscular dystrophy.
  
Now through Friday, Dec. 10, community members are encouraged to visit www.umpquabank.com/wishto nominate deserving friends, family members and neighbors. Wishes must come from community members, not organizations, on behalf of an individual or family. Wish Upon a Star nominations should explain why the nominee deserves to have their wish granted and include appropriate contact information. If community members do not have access to the internet, they are encouraged to contact Umpqua Bank at 1-866-486-7782 and an associate will take their wish directly.
Wishes will be granted on air weekdays between Dec. 6 and Dec. 17. Listeners can tune in to KRSB, KKMK, KQEN and KSKR at 8:40 a.m. to hear holiday wishes come true.
