"Bellco is excited to kick off our expanded branch presence with the opening of the new Cherry Creek location," said Sandra Sagehorn-Elliott, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Bellco. "Cherry Creek is a vibrant area made-up of local residents and businesses who share our passion for being active in the community. We look forward to offering residents our full range of competitive products and services to help them meet their financial goals."
The new branch location will welcome the community with a special Grand Opening Celebration Event:

- During the Grand Opening Celebration, Bellco will be providing support for the Women's Bean Project, a non-profit organization that strives to break the cycle of chronic unemployment and poverty by helping women discover their talents and develop skills through job readiness training opportunities. Bellco asks that attendees at the event consider purchasing products from the Project or making a cash donation.
In 2012, Bellco plans to continue its commitment to the Cherry Creek community as an Associate Sponsor of the annual Cherry Creek Arts Festival, July 6th-8th. Bellco will be the Official Financial Institution of the Festival.
