"Many of our employees volunteer in classrooms each year, teaching lesson plans on saving money and understanding credit. We are happy to support the North Carolina Council on Economic Education and the worthwhile curriculum they offer to young people." "The funding provided by CommunityOne Bank made participation in the SMG program possible for more than 700 students in CommunityOne Bank’s service area," said Sandy Wheat, Executive Director of the NCCEE. "We applaud their efforts in bringing this outstanding program to students in communities where they conduct business, especially now, when program budgets are being cut or are non-existent in many of our schools."
