On Nov. 20, Regal Bank presented a check for $2,400 to the Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter. The check represents funds raised at Regal Bank’s Dog Pawrade, an annual community event for Livingston-area canines and the people who love them.

“We welcomed more than 60 people and 28 dogs to this year’s Pawrade,” Christina Slater, Regal Bank’s Vice President/Regional Manager and creator of the event said. “Since its inception in 2008, the Livingston Dog Pawrade has generated more than $10,000 to help homeless animals in need.”
