SouthStar Bank of Franklin has been collecting funds for several weeks to go towards tornado relief efforts in the community and hopes to surpass its goal of $50,000, which includes a matching contribution of $25,000 from the bank.
SouthStar Bank is overcome by the outpouring of support and will host a Franklin Appreciation Breakfast on Monday, May 13 at 9 a.m. to announce funds raised and present a check to the city.
The appreciation breakfast will begin at 9 a.m. followed by a check presentation to Franklin Mayor Molly Hedrick at 10 a.m.
As a reminder, donations will be accepted through Friday, May 10 at 5 p.m. With continued support, the bank is confident of meeting its $50,000 goal.
