Margaret Callihan, chairman, SunTrust
Our original Sun Bank founder, Linton Allen, said, “Build your community and you build your bank,” and we believe that to be true to this day. We are deeply committed to the communities we serve and we support as many of those causes that make our markets better places to live, work and play as we can. Since our clients and employees possess a varied and diverse base of interests, we try to reflect the same with our philanthropy. We usually emphasize the cultural and fine arts, health and human services, community development and higher education. We also support an unlimited number of charities through our “My Cause” program, which allows people to designate their own special charitable interests when they open new accounts with us.
