PFCU in the Community: Q3 2025

At PFCU, our dedication to the community shines brightest when we’re out connecting with our neighbors. This summer was filled with celebrations, learning opportunities, and partnerships that reflect the diverse spirit of Philadelphia. From honoring graduates and supporting families to welcoming students back to campus, each event gave us another chance to invest in the people and places we proudly serve.

Here’s a look at some of the memorable moments that brought us together in Q3:

2025 Graduation Celebration – Beyond Literacy

We were honored to celebrate graduates at Beyond Literacy’s 2025 Graduation Ceremony on June 27. As an event sponsor, PFCU joined families, teachers, and students in recognizing the accomplishments of adult learners pursuing new opportunities through education.
