At PFCU, giving back to our community is at the heart of everything we do. This spring, we had the pleasure of participating in a variety of events that connected us with partners, schools, and organizations across Philadelphia. From educational seminars and artistic collaborations to festivals and foundation support, we are proud to continue investing in the people and neighborhoods that make our city so special.
Here's a look at how we stayed engaged in Q2:
PFCU was a proud Puppy Love sponsor of the Morris Animal Refuge's Annual Fur Ball Gala, held at the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum on March 28th. This fun and heartwarming event brought together animal lovers to raise funds for one of the region's most well-known no-kill shelters.
