Centennial Bank Helps Light Up Burns Park Soccer Complex With Donation

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

Let there be light….for more soccer fields at Burns Park Soccer Complex that is. Lighting was one of the major needs the city of North Little Rock had for the park. Burns Park already boasts a great soccer park, but needed to light two remaining fields in order to have the capacity to draw larger tournaments to the region.

Frank Thomas, president for the Arkansas River Cities Sports Commission, Mayor Patrick H. Hays of North Little Rock, Bob Birch, regional president for Centennial Bank and many others met on field number one of the Burns Park Soccer Complex to formally announce the donation.

This donation will help the Burns Park Soccer Complex move much closer to their goal of lighting up two extra fields of play.

CENTENNIAL BANK DEDICATES OVER 200 VOLUNTEER HOURS CATERING TO LANDLUBBERS AT THE MARATHON SEAFOOD FESTIVAL

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

Centennial Bank, the Greater Marathon Chamber of Commerce and the Organized Fishermen of Florida joined forces recently for the 34th annual Original Marathon Seafood Festival. The Centennial Bank staff put in over 200 hours of community service as the Hospitality Wagon served up hot dogs, hamburgers, and Italian sausage and peppers for those whose palates sought something other than seafood.

Money raised by Centennial Bank was donated to the Greater Marathon Chamber of Commerce, which every year, donates to many local non-for-profits and charities such as Grace Jones Daycare, KAIR, FIRM, Habitat For Humanity; and provides local youth and non-profit groups opportunities to raise money at the annual seafood festival.

Centennial Helps Break Ground for Innovative New Home in Downtown Little Rock

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

Ok, we admit it. Working at Centennial does allow us to see some really cool things. It makes us feel good when we know that we had a small part of making someone's day or watching the fulfillment of a dream. Occasionally, we are presented with a partnership that we just can't turn down.

Through our partnership with the Downtown Little Rock Community Development Corporation (DTLRCDC) and other Little Rock businesses, we were able to break ground on the site for a new sustainable, modular home in the historic Pettaway neighborhood in downtown Little Rock.

The home is the first of several design/build projects planned by the University of Arkansas’ Fay Jones School of Architecture in cooperation with the DLRCDC. This home is part of a collaborative effort to revitalize the South Main neighborhood, and showcases materials and construction alternatives for affordable, energy-efficient and sustainable housing in inner-city Little Rock.

We have posted a few pictures of the groundbreaking event this morning.
