Beautiful landscaping outside Epworth cottage provided by BB&T Lighthouse Project volunteers for the new residents on the Winston-Salem campus.
BB&T’s Lighthouse Project provides financial support and manpower to the community by giving BB&T employees the opportunity to nominate, vote on and ultimately volunteer with local charities. Since the launch of the program in 2009, BB&T associates have contributed more than 475,000 volunteer hours. This year Crossnore’s Winston-Salem campus was lucky enough to be the beneficiary of three Lighthouse Project teams! In this series we are highlight each of the teams and showcasing the incredible work they’ve done on the campus.
Team #2: The Quantitative Credit Risk Analytics Group, lead by Debi Nathey, provided landscaping and outdoor furniture/accessories to several cottages.
