FLUSHING BANK SPONSORS COMMONPOINT
QUEENS’ DRIVE-IN MOVIE FUNDRAISER
BY CARLOTTA MOHAMED
In support of Commonpoint
Queens’ Summer Drive-In
Movie Nights, Flushing Bank
has made a generous donation
to the organization for its upcoming
screenings on July 19
and Aug. 16.
“It is our pleasure to sponsor
the drive-in movie series,
knowing that the proceeds will
support the food pantry and
homebound seniors in our communities,”
said John Buran,
president and CEO of Flushing
Bank. “As a community bank,
we recognize the importance of
supporting organizations, such
as Commonpoint, that provide
the much-needed support and
services to our communities.”
Danielle Ellman, CEO of
Commonpoint Queens, said
the donation will support the
organization’s food pantry
and ensure that more than
23,867 homebound seniors will
receive the food they need.
“We are very grateful to
Flushing Bank for their longtime
support of Commonpoint
Queens and the entire Queens
community. When we approached
them to sponsor our
drive-in movie series they immediately
agreed,” Ellman said.
“The drive-in movie launched
as a response needing to be
with one another while also
needing to stay a part in these
difficult times. It is the result
of our desire to stay connected
with our community. Now more
than ever, we and our partners
at Flushing Bank are dedicated
to supporting our community
and providing them with safe,
fun experiences that they can
all enjoy together.”
On Sunday, July 19, Commonpoint
Queens will be featuring
a double bill of “The
Sandlot” cowritten, directed
and narrated by David Mickey
Evans, which tells the story of a
group of young baseball players
during the summer of 1962, and
the 1978 American musical romantic
comedy film “Grease”
starring John Travolta and Olivia
Newtown-John.
