Republic Bank

Earlier this month, our Conexión BRG was a proud participant of the Kentucky Latin Music Awards for the 6th year in a row with Republic Bank as a main sponsor! Through this event, we were able to provide 12 partial scholarships to students at University of Louisville, Bellarmine, and Jefferson Community & Technical College! We were also able to provide donations to La Casita Center and Adelante to further support Hispanic youth and families build thriving futures and communities. Finding ways to show up for our community and celebrate every culture is a vital part of how we can make an IMPACT in our community.

'I think Republic Bank has been a good fit for me because its founder, Bernard Trager, was a community guy, deeply rooted in caring for and creating opportunities for people,' Summers said, values that are very much in line with the legacy of his family." "Summers in part leads Republic’s Community & Multicultural Banking Division that is focused on supporting nonprofits, minority-owned businesses and developers aiding Louisville’s underserved communities.
