M&T Bank's Generosity Shines at the BRBC New Member Reception

The Bridgeport Regional Business Council (BRBC) recently hosted a memorable New Member Reception on February 29th, generously sponsored by M&T Bank. The event, held at M&T Bank’s exquisite building, witnessed a remarkable turnout of New Members, Ambassadors, Board Members, and Staff, all coming together to foster connections and strengthen the local business community.


A highlight of the evening was M&T Bank's heartfelt gesture of presenting a significant donation check amounting to $85,000 to Dan Onofrio, President and CEO of the Bridgeport Regional Business Council. This substantial contribution underscores M&T Bank's commitment to supporting local business initiatives and investing in the growth and prosperity of the Bridgeport region.


Frank Micalizzi, Bridgeport Regional President & Head of Commercial Banking for Connecticut and David Femi, Senior Vice President at M&T Bank, were instrumental in orchestrating this act of generosity. Their dedication to fostering meaningful relationships within the business community was evident throughout the evening as they engaged with attendees, forging connections and sharing insights.
