FLORENCE, S.C., Nov. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — First Reliance Bank (OTC Bulletin Board: FSRL) announces today that it has doubled its commitment to the local chapters of the American Red Cross. “We give to our communities in time and talents of our employees. We match our employees’ commitment with dollars wherever we can, especially at this time of year when we give thanks to everything in our lives. The local response to families with house fires and providing support to families with servicemen and women overseas, along with the multitude of other services the Red Cross does everyday that does not get the headlines is why contributions like this are so important,” said Rick Saunders, President and CEO of First Reliance Bank. “We were the lead sponsors in the Red Cross Golf Tournament this year, but felt that an additional contribution was necessary after reading about several local tragedies. My sincere hope is that other corporate citizens will follow our lead and support their local Red Cross Chapters. We believe it is important to do good, while we are doing well,” Saunders added.
