“Our goal is to raise $20,000 by the New Year,” said Stephen Shealy, People’s United Bank vice president and senior market manager in Greenwich. “We are proud to work with the foundation and to make a difference for these wonderful children – the earlier we can help them, the better chance they have to lead healthy, rewarding lives.”

Hannah Storm, founder of the Hannah Storm Foundation, said, “We are so thrilled to partner with People’s United Bank to ‘Brighten up A Child’s Life’ this holiday season. The monies raised through this campaign will help ensure our children have the lives they deserve.”
