BankUnited, a Miami Lakes, Florida based national bank, joined in this year’s Super Bowl celebration through a $54,000 sweepstakes that would go to one lucky winner if either the Chiefs of 49ers scored a two-point conversion.
When that didn’t happen, BankUnited Chairman Rajinder P. Singh awarded the money to three local nonprofits that help South Floridians “achieve their dreams.”
Singh called the sweepstakes a celebration of “those who go for more in their personal and professional lives.”
Contributing $18,000 of the prize to Carrfour Supportive Housing, Florida’s largest nonprofit affordable housing developer, Singh hopes to see Carrfour “go for more this year.”
Thanking BankUnited, Carrfour President/CEO Stephanie Berman-Eisenberg said the contribution will strengthen the agency’s fight to eradicate homelessness.
