Webster Banker Helps Raise Funds for CCMC

WEST HARTFORD, Conn., September 2, 2015 - Here's the scoop: Denise Hall, senior vice president, Treasury Sales at Webster Bank shared ice cream and smiles at Gabriella's 7th Annual Scoop Night to benefit the Cardiology Division of Connecticut Children's Medical Center. In 2008, Gabriella underwent successful open heart surgery to repair a congenital heart defect.

Hall, who also serves as Republican Minority Leader of the West Hartford Town Council, volunteered as a "celebrity scooper" at the August 27th event at Blue Back Square in West Hartford, Conn.

Webster Bank is a leading regional bank serving businesses and consumers in the northeast. Each year, Webster bankers give of themselves in the communities they serve by sharing more than
