“Every year our branches take part in WalkAmerica and we are proud to be associated with the March of Dimes and its mission to save babies lives,” Taylor said. “Sovereign Bank, its employees and customers raised more than $135,000 in 2004/05 to help fight birth defects.” This is a record breaking year.
