The Bank of Castile celebrated 20 years in Batavia this afternoon with a community gathering at its East Main Street branch and by presenting a gift backpack with a $500 donation in it to the backpack program of United Way.

Castile branches traditionally celebrate their anniversaries with gifts to the community, bank officials said.
Branch employees picked the backpack program for the 20th anniversary gift.
"At the Bank of Castile, we have always been a strong believer in the good that United Way does in our community," Torcello said. "We are proud to support the program with a contribution."
