Community Spirit
Community spirit is at the core of who we are and Powering business and communitiesTM is our dual mission. While we keep a keen eye on global financial trends, our primary attention is squarely in our backyard of central Pennsylvania.
An overarching goal, beyond delivering a solid return to our shareholders and high-quality services to our customers, is to Be a Difference Maker in our neighborhoods. Before we were shovel-ready at any of our financial centers, we nurtured our community relationships by investing in sponsorships, contributing donations, and sharing goodwill with the residents and business owners.
Because we live where we lend, our community roots run deep and strong, and it remains our privilege to rally around many local and national organizations and causes.
Perhaps you have waved as our team marched in the Memorial Day parades in Derry Township and Camp Hill; or you connected with us at the American Heart Association’s Go Red Luncheon, The Salvation Army Harrisburg Capital Region’s Shoe Strut, or YWCA’s Power of Style; or you said Hello to us on the sidewalk or at the grocery store.
In addition to conversations on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube, our We Revolve Around You imprint is felt in every sponsorship and event. We hope you had a chance to connect with us in person at any of these events:
