MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 23, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Continuing a tradition launched following the celebration of its 150th anniversary in 2014, First Tennessee is once again promoting “March of Service” projects to benefit local nonprofits.
The annual volunteer effort is a call to action for First Tennessee workers to invest in their communities. Each March the company’s 4,300 employees pitch in to participate in service projects as departments or in small groups.

Since 1864 First Tennessee has been committed to the customers and communities it serves by providing financial services and solutions, and demonstrating that commitment through community investment. And while First Tennessee highlights its volunteer spirit every March, the company’s community investment is ongoing.
