LUDINGTON – West Shore Bank recently donated a portion of the proceeds from its Rhythm & Dunes summer concert series to benefit music programs of Ludington Area, Mason County Central, and Mason County Eastern schools. Vendor proceeds, donations accepted during the concerts, and funds raised from rides on Charlie the Mechanical Bull and other merchandise sales increased the total funds donated this year to $5,700, over double the amount donated last year.

“West Shore Bank is proud to make a difference in our local communities and schools,” said Raymond A. Biggs, president and CEO of West Shore Bank. “What an amazing turnout we had for our concerts this year. It’s terrific to see the support the west shore community has for music and the programs offered in our area schools.”
