ANN ARBOR, MI--(Marketwired - June 03, 2016) - University Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of bank holding company University Bancorp, Inc. (OTCQB: UNIB), announced that it is hosting a fundraiser for the children in Flint on June 20th, 5pm to 8pm with speeches beginning at 6pm. Due to the generous charity of University Bank and local business owners 100% of donations will benefit the two main charities that feed children in Flint when they are not in school, "St. Luke N.E.W. Life Center Food Pantry" and "Catholic Charities of Shiawassee & Genesee Counties". These charities are in real need as their budgets are stretched due to the crisis in Flint and summer is coming. Honored guests who are speaking include Flint's Mayor Karen Weaver, His Excellency the Bishop of Lansing Earl Boyea, Father Tom Firestone who is the pastor of the combined Catholic Parishes in Flint and the former Pastor of Ann Arbor's St. Mary's Student Parish at the University of Michigan, and Catholic Social Services of Washtenaw County who will outline charity opportunities to meet the needs of local Washtenaw County children.
