EagleBank Foundation Continues the Fight Against Breast Cancer
BETHESDA, Md., May 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Eagle Bancorp, Inc.,
headquartered in Bethesda, MD, has formed The EagleBank Foundation,
Inc. This new charitable arm of the holding company of EagleBank, a

fighting breast cancer, a cause for which the bank raised over
$80,000.00 in 2005. (Logo:

Bank held a very successful first annual charity golf tournament
last year at Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, MD. Funds raised
were directed to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. "The
success of this past event and the outpouring of support from our
community and its business leaders told us that this was something
we wanted to continue. Our Foundation was established as a 501(c)
(3) to qualify for tax deductible contributions. Further, the
Foundation will now focus on those charities in our community who
are helping our friends and neighbors fight the battle against
breast cancer," commented Don Rogers, President of the Foundation.
Rogers also serves on EagleBank's Board of Directors. This year's
second annual EagleBank Charity Golf Tournament will, again, direct
proceeds to the fight against breast cancer. A single organization
or a group of area clinics are some of the considerations for this
year's recipient. An announcement will be forthcoming as the
tournament date of October 9th draws closer. About EagleBank and
Eagle Bancorp, Inc....Eagle Bancorp, Inc. is the holding company
for EagleBank and its subsidiary, Eagle Land Title, LLC. EagleBank
