Trustmark is pleased to announce that its associates raised $19,511 in support of the ALS Association, and the company has matched the amount given by associates for a total contribution of $39,022.

    Trustmark CEO Jerry Host accepted the “Ice Bucket Challenge” and encouraged Trustmark associates to participate in a 24-hour donation blitz to memorialize former Trustmark CEO Frank Day. Culminating the event, Host took the “Ice Bucket Challenge” at The Day Centre, a Trustmark operations center named in memory of Day.  Barbara Day, Mr. Day’s widow, attended the event to join Host in presenting the donation check. The event was also attended by many members of the Trustmark family.   

    “We are honored to participate in the donation blitz and “Ice Bucket Challenge” in support of ALS. This is our way of honoring Frank, whose fortitude and business savvy helped build this company into what it is today,” Host said. “I am grateful to our associates and their generous contributions, which will go directly toward care services for individuals with ALS.”

    The ALS Association’s mission is to provide care services to assist people with ALS and their families through a network of chapters working in communities across the nation and a global research program focused on discovery of treatments and eventually a cure for the disease.
