Community Corner is the place to go to learn more about the many community events and organizations City National is proud to support.

May 1 marked the start of City National’s annual Workplace Giving Campaign, which runs through May 31.

Year after year, colleagues manage to raise the generosity bar. In 2014, nearly 90 percent of the bank’s colleagues participated in the campaign, raising more than $1.1 million.

■■ In light of this tremendous success, the 2015 campaign goal is $1.25 million

This year’s campaign is co-chaired by Chief Financial Officer Christopher Carey and Executive Vice President of Wealth Management Services Rich Gershen.

“It is our pleasure to co-chair the annual City National Workplace Giving Campaign. Our colleagues are truly standard bearers of generosity and compassion and it is really we who follow your lead. We hope you are as excited as we are about the new choices the campaign offers, and that you will join us in reaching our $1.25 million goal. Thank you for your willingness to make a true impact on the lives of others,” Chris and Rich said in a joint statement.

For the first time, Workplace Giving is offering colleagues an open choice/no fee campaign. All donations made to any organization via the Workplace Giving web portal during the month of May count to the campaign, and as a thank you, City National will absorb any associated administrative fees.

That’s right!

Give to any accredited 501(c)(3) charitable organization and 100 percent of colleague donations will be forwarded to the organization(s) of your choice.

Step One is to Re-enrollStep one is to access the Workplace Giving website and re-enroll. On May 1, you should have received an email from “2015 City National Bank Workplace Giving Campaign” with your UserID and temporary password. Newer colleagues will be sent their welcome email as they enter the system each week during the campaign. From there, colleagues can select one or a combination of City National’s seven strategic partner organizations, or designate a charity of their choosing. The bank’s strategic partners are:

■■ American Cancer Society

■■ American Red Cross

■■ Iraq & Afghanistan Veterans of America

■■ Reading is The way up

■■ Ronald McDonald House Charities

■■ Save the Children

■■ United Way

Everyone needs to re-enrollNow that it the campaign is completely open with no fees, everyone who wishes to participate must opt-in by accessing the website and making your elections. Colleagues who give by payroll will be automatically enrolled for ongoing payroll deduction on a go-forward basis, but everyone must opt-in this year to be included in the campaign.

The 2015 campaign features a number of incentives, including:

■■ Colleagues who return their contribution forms by May 31 will be entered into a drawing for a $150 City National Visa® gift card.

■■ Colleagues participating in payroll deduction will be entered into a second drawing for a $150 City National Visa gift card.

■■ Weekly drawings – with a different prize each week – will be held for colleagues who increase their giving by 10 percent or more over 2014, with a minimum annual contribution of $150.

Donor levels remain the same as last year:

■■ Bronze ($250+)

■■ Silver ($500+)

■■ Gold ($1,000)

Colleagues at these levels will receive a pin and be entered into a drawing – at the campaign’s conclusion – for terrific prizes at each level.

Colleagues are automatically entered into every drawing for which they qualify. A colleague may win only one of the above drawings annually.

If you have questions about the campaign, contact Jennifer Nickerson at (213) 673-7603 or Jennifer.Nickerson@cnb.com.

Flashback 40 years, and it was on this date that the bank put down its first roots in Orange County, Calif. City National opened a branch office in Newport Beach on April 28, 1975. The branch was located near the ocean at Newport Lido where it housed a Float-in Window that allowed clients the convenience of doing their banking from their boats.

Four decades later, City National’s Orange County footprint now includes a Regional Center in Irvine, along with seven full-service branches throughout the region, as well as a roster of colleagues that currently numbers more than 116 and represents all areas of the bank, including: Core Banking; Private Client Services; Commercial Banking Services; Real Estate; City National Rochdale; Treasury Management; Trust & Estate Planning; and Residential Lending.

“We are very proud of what City National has accomplished in Orange County the past 40 years,” said Kevin Dunigan, executive vice president and Orange County regional executive. “Our success is directly linked to the clients and communities we serve. If our clients succeed, then we’ve done our job,

and over the past four decades we have helped thousands of entrepreneurs, businesses and families.”

In addition to helping businesses grow and become more successful throughout Orange County the past 40 years, City National also has helped hundreds of nonprofit organizations become stronger and more vibrant. In recognition of these relationships, the bank awarded $40,000 to 40 nonprofit groups. Dozens of bank colleagues delivered $1,000 grants to 40 deserving nonprofit and community-based organizations as part of City National’s 40th anniversary celebration in Orange County.

“Community outreach is an integral part of our success in Orange County,” Dunigan added. “We’re only as strong as our communities, and awarding an additional $40,000 to so many wonderful nonprofit agencies throughout the county reaffirms our commitment to the region.”

Here’s just a few of the happy organizations who received grants. Check out more photos at #thebig40 or on City National’s Facebook page.

As a general rule, if you’re going to sign your son up for youth baseball, you’re going to choose the team closest to your home. That was Commercial Banking Services’ Josh Najarro’s initial inclination as well, until he dug a little deeper and discovered that the teams in his immediate area didn’t

need what he very much wanted to share: specifically, his time and talents. In fact, these leagues actually were putting volunteers on waiting lists. So Josh cast a wider volunteer net and discovered Santa Ana Pony Baseball – an Orange County, Calif., league that welcomed Josh with open arms.

That’s why Josh currently can be found on a baseball diamond – four times a week – coaching a gaggle of 4- and 5-year-old Tee-ball players. While much of this nonpaid position falls into the bureaucratic category – scheduling practices, ordering uniforms, coordinating fundraisers – Josh embraces the opportunity.

“It feels like you can have an early, positive influence on these kids,” he says. “It’s a chance to be a mentor and a role model.”

Josh additionally has found the experience fulfilling. “It’s so rewarding to see them smile when they know they’ve made a good play,” he explains. Adding, “It’s also rewarding to see their day-to-day improvement and their dedication to teamwork and to developing a commendable work ethic.”

When the Tee-ball season comes to a close in June, Josh can relax…at least long enough to stow the baseball gear, head to the soccer field, and morph from Credit Analyst Najarro to Soccer Coach Najarro.

To learn more about the Santa Ana Pony Baseball, visit http://www.santaanapony.com.

Donate more than 20 volunteer hours of your time in a year? Dollars for Doers allows you to direct $250 for 20+ hours and $500 for 40+ hours to the organization(s) you support. Record your hours on the Community Corner website and follow the instructions to submit your request.

Commercial Banking Services’ Josh Najarro keeps a watchful eye on his players, including his own son (far right).

Not only did Carol captain City National’s Inland Empire team, but her daughter – Khloe – was selected to receive recognition on “Ambassador Avenue” – a March of Dimes’ campaign that shares the stories of babies who were born prematurely but who are now healthy. Carol expressed her sincere thanks and appreciation to all who supported “Team Khloe.”
