At Wells Fargo, celebrating diversity is integrated into everything we do. Our commitment to diversity is why we’re so proud and honored to sponsor the 2008 Cinco de Mayo Parade and Fiesta, an event that will allow our Hispanic neighbors to celebrate their heritage,” said Cathy Clark, Community Banking president for Wells Fargo in Sioux Falls. “As a company, we believe that we’re only as strong as the communities we serve. That’s why we’re dedicated to providing the resources our cities and neighborhoods need to grow and prosper. We believe this event will help foster awareness and appreciation for the various customs and traditions alive within the Sioux Empire today.”
“At Wells Fargo, we are committed to doing more than reflecting or representing the diversity of our communities. We want to be the diversity of our communities — doing so is cornerstone to helping us achieve our vision of helping all our customers succeed financially,” said Anne Jackson, president of Wells Fargo Financial Bank in Sioux Falls. “We welcome all opportunities to celebrate the Hispanic culture of our community, and sponsoring this wonderful event will give us another chance to do just that.”
All proceeds raised from the event will help support Caminando Juntos ministries of the Presentation Sisters, a non-profit agency dedicated to serving the Hispanic community in Sioux Falls through advocacy, networking and immigration services.
