ST. PAUL, Minn. – Old National Bancorp has launched its “Choose Your Charity” campaign, inviting the community to vote for its favorite nonprofit across Minnesota, North Dakota and western Wisconsin. The nonprofit receiving the most votes in each of 96 communities will receive $2,500, and the top vote-getter overall will receive an additional $25,000.

Nonprofits must be a registered 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization to share in the $265,000 of available funds Old National will award to community nonprofits.

“Choose Your Charity is a creative and fun way to partner with the communities we serve by putting the decision in the hands of the people who know their communities best,” said Julie McDonough, Twin Cities Co-Market president and Private Banking president for Old National Bank. “By listening to local residents through their votes, we can recognize and support the nonprofits providing essential services across the region.”

Participants can cast their vote once per 24-hour period. Contact Old National for details. The campaign will run through April 25, and voters do not need to have a business relationship with Old National to participate in the contest.

Old National has branches in Minot and Rugby.
