"The bank's support of the Classic was instrumental to the success of the event. The organization will net close to $50,000. That's quite an impressive amount in today's financial climate." "Support of the Arthritis Foundation is a natural extension of the bank's commitment to give back to the communities it serves. Empire National Bank is proud to support groups that improve the quality of life for our fellow Long Islanders," said Buonaiuto.
