SouthState is proud to partner with unique organizations across our footprint, including the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in Richmond, Virginia.
Our bankers support this nationally recognized attraction through banking solutions and volunteerism. Members of the Richmond team were even able to help string Christmas lights to ready the gardens for the annual Dominion Energy GardenFest of Lights holiday display. Everyone enjoyed playing a part, and their “illuminating” work paid off as the spectacle was named the #1 botanical garden light display in America by USAToday.

Commercial Relationship Manager Courtney Friedlein joined other Richmond bankers in stringing some of the 1 million lights. “In our Richmond market, we organize regular volunteer efforts to encourage team members to come together and make a bigger impact,” she adds.
