The donation to the Laura Crandall Brown Ovarian Cancer Foundation is among nearly 140 contributions, each for $1,000, to non-profits across Alabama made at community events. It was the first initiative of its kind in Alabama, and Wells Fargo had not supported many of the groups before. "These unrestricted dollars will allow us to continue to help the community," said Jim Crandall, President. "With the economy still suffering, the money couldn't come at a better time." "A hallmark of Wells Fargo is local decision-making and local involvement," said Mike Donnelly, regional president for Alabama. "Through Days of Giving we're connecting with local communities in a whole new way." He added that The Laura Crandall Brown Ovarian Cancer Foundation was selected by frontline employees of the company for the honor. Across Alabama, Wells Fargo has 3,000 employees and serves customers at 190 locations. Added Donnelly, "We know the needs continue to be great across our area, especially now. This is a new way to help more people and more groups that we haven't been able to reach in the past." # # #
