Community Leaders and Supporters Come Together to Help Local Children and Families

Washington, D.C. – United Bank was proud to host its 22nd annual Charity Classic golf tournament in support of Inova Kellar Center, which has provided behavioral health services to children, adolescents, and families for more than 30 years. This year’s event generated a record $401,767, marking a lifetime total of over $8 million in funds raised.

“Making a positive impact in the lives of those we serve is at the core of what we do, and the continued generosity of our community inspires us,” said Mike Proctor, Chief Commercial Banking Officer, United Bank. “We are grateful for Inova Kellar Center’s efforts to provide comprehensive, critical programs that support the health and well-being of local families in need. Their work is life-changing and helps to ensure a brighter future for us all.”
