2025 Collective Impact Giving Recipient: Stache Strong

We are proud to announce that Stache Strong, a non-profit organization dedicated to brain cancer research and awareness, has been selected as the 2025 recipient of the Collective Impact Giving Campaign, presented by Atlantic Community Bankers Bank (ACBB).

The check presentation included Christina Bodine Aysseh (center), Colin Gerner, President & CEO of Stache Strong (right), and John Barbalaco, EVP, Chief Banking Officer from DR Bank (left). It was an honor to stand alongside the Stache Strong team and celebrate their mission, which is as powerful as it is personal.


Founded in memory of Colin’s brother, GJ Gerner, Stache Strong has quickly grown into a national force for good, raising over $2 million since its founding. These funds directly support cutting-edge research initiatives across the country with the goal of improving treatment options and ultimately finding a cure for brain cancer.


We encourage you to learn more about their incredible story and consider joining the fight. Visit stachestrong.org to donate or get involved. You can also follow and support this campaign and Stache Strong on social media:
