As a local bank serving many communities in West Michigan, Huntington Bank is committed to supporting activities that contribute to the overall economic vitality and quality of life in the area.  For several years, Huntington has been an active sponsor of Great Lakes fishing tournaments along the lakeshore.  The Team Huntington with Captain Matt Shanahan has also been an active competitor.  In 2008, Huntington will expand it's role as a presenting sponsor of the new Great Lakes Salmon Series, GLS2, and will also continue as a lead sponsor at the events in Saugatuck, Holland, Grand Haven, Muskegon and Traverse City.

Supporting these tournaments is just good business for Huntington and good for our region.  The fishing community in West Michigan is made up of people who are great stewards of the natural resources that we are blessed with, as well as major contributors to the economic strength of the region.  Many are business owners and employees at companies that are creating jobs and opportunities for growth in the area.  Their investments in boats and equipment and travel are also important to our local economies.   They are also our friends and neighbors and we share their love for the outdoors and the great sport fishery of Lake Michigan.
