Ledyard hosted a video contest for which each organization was invited to create a short video, featuring the importance of community in the work they do. The videos were posted to Ledyard’s celebration landing page and Facebook page, where every video reaction was counted as a vote from Oct 1st through October 22nd. Ledyard thanks all our community members who joined the celebration and cast over 2,300 votes, helping them award a total of $30,000 between all ten organizations.

Kathy Underwood, Ledyard’s President and CEO, along with her team of Ledyard representatives, visited each organization to congratulate them. The Hartford Dismas House received the grand prize of $10,000 and West Central Behavioral Health placed second, receiving $7,500. The complete results can be found on ledyardbank.com/30-for-30.
