NORWICH – NBT and Commerce Chenango held their annual Holiday Spectacular event on Tuesday night, with live music, catering, and a mission to help local non-profits including Toys for Tots along with Roots and Wings.

According to NBT Senior Vice President and Director of Corporate Communications Florence Dollar, this event is part of NBT’s Business After Hours series. For this event, local organizations had the opportunity to have fun, kick off the holiday season, and donate to charitable causes.

“It has always been important for us to focus on the community, and the different ways we can give back,” said Dollar. “This event is a great example of ways that we can do that, by getting organizations together in an event that has a giving focused component.”

“Community involvement and supporting our communities is something that we focus on all year long, but this event allows us to help local people who are struggling around the holiday season.”

She said more than 100 people attended the event, and numerous donations were collected for Toys for Tots and Norwich’s Roots and Wings.
