Ridgewood Savings Bank teams up with Islanders to rack up charitable donations for every goalie save
In keeping with their slogan, “multiply the good,” Ridgewood Savings Bank has again teamed up with the New York Islanders, pledging to donate $10 to local charities for every save made by an Islanders goalie this season. So far, past the halfway point in the season, the “Save with Ridgewood” sponsorship has led to nearly $20,000 in donations.
“The Islanders goalies have made 1,999 saves, as of today,” said Leonard Stekol, Ridgewood Bank’s President and COO, “which means we’re on pace for donating more than $20,000 again this year.”
“With the funds raised so far, we’ve donated $10,000 to the Prospect Park Alliance for its free “Sticks and Skates presented by HSS” weekly kid’s clinics,” said Domenico Ciaccio, AVP, Community Relations for Ridgewood. “We are so pleased to help out the Brooklyn community. That money goes to providing children with the helmets, sticks, pucks, elbow pads, gloves and with a chance to learn how to play hockey.”

While Brooklyn has become the epitome of ‘cool and hip’ in recent years, for those that were born here, raised families here and improved communities over the years, Brooklyn has never been ‘uncool’.
