Webster Bank Celebrates UConn Championship Parade

HARTFORD, Conn., April 13, 2015 - Webster Bank, the official bank of UConn Athletics and the University of Connecticut Alumni Association, celebrated what has almost become an annual rite of spring - the UConn Women's Basketball team winning a national championship. Webster is pleased to have been a lead sponsor of the parade that saluted the team's 10th national title. This historic feat was celebrated with a parade on April 12 and

dozens of Webster bankers and the families showed their Husky prideby marching through the streets of downtown

Hartford, Conn.

An estimated 10,000 people turned out for the festivities that took place under brilliant sunshine. The parade was

re-routed this year due to construction, which meant the parade went right by the Webster banking center located on

Trumbull Street, near the victory rally at the XL Center.

Webster Bank is a leading regional bank in the northeast.

Pictured here (and attached) are Webster bankers and family members who marched; and Adam McLaughlin, senior vice president, commercial banking and his family who rested before stepping-out.
