As the bank with a commitment to helping people go from financial stress to financial confidence, it was a natural fit to focus philanthropic efforts to helping families with special needs challenges.
As part of this commitment, SunTrust developed a financial toolkit to help parents of children with special needs create a financial plan. Specifically, one in 68 children in the U.S. has autism. More children than ever before have been diagnosed with this disease - one that is incurable but can be treatable - but at tremendous financial costs.
As a testament to SunTrust’s continued support for families dealing with special needs like autism, in the Spring of 2018, SunTrust teamed up with StrawberryFrog to create an exceptional film about an autistic girl named Charlotte, her beautiful world, and the challenge of connecting with her mother.
