Naperville United Way . . . Answering Needs

September 10, 2006

Park National BankContributions to the Naperville United Way are the most effective way to invest in our community and make positive, lasting change.

For this reason, Park National Bank is proud to support the Naperville United Way through an annual employee fund raising campaign and corporate gift.

Their successful 2005-2006 campaign earned the bank the Top Corporate Citizen Award from the Naperville United Way for their donation of $89,561.

For the past four years, Pepper Albrecht Erdmann, Marketing Product Manager at Park National Bank has helped to organize the campaign.

Why has Park National bank chosen to run a corporate wide campaign for the United Way?

Park National Bank is built on a strong community banking philosophy; the United Way provides us with a comprehensive way to impact all of the people living and working in the communities we serve, including Naperville.

Why has Park National Bank’s employee fundraising campaign been so successful?

I believe our campaign is successful because we make it fun with kick-off activities and contests, but also because we do a good job of explaining that with a donation to the United Way, you don’t have to choose who to help, you can help everyone.

Why do you personally give to the Naperville United Way?

I support the Naperville United Way because it is the best investment of my donation dollars. They research the issues facing our community and invest our dollars where they are needed most. Since joining the Naperville United Way Board of Directors, I’ve gotten to be a part of the funding process and I am impressed by the quality programming the Naperville United Way supports and the dedication of all the community volunteers.

The mission of the Naperville United way is to improve people’s lives by mobilizing the caring power of Naperville.
