PITTSBURGH, April 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The PNC Financial Services Group (NYSE: PNC) today launches its 15th anniversary celebration of PNC Grow Up Great®, announcing an additional $150 million to extend the program that supports high-quality early learning for young children. The program is now a $500 million initiative benefitting 40 markets.
"The workplace of tomorrow will require skills and knowledge we can't begin to imagine today. As a Main Street bank, we recognize that we have an important role to play in helping ensure that all children have the opportunity to acquire and strengthen the skills they need to succeed so that our communities prosper," said William S. Demchak, chairman, president and chief executive officer of The PNC Financial Services Group. "I join with my PNC colleagues in sharing the pride in all that has been accomplished through PNC Grow Up Great. In this celebration year, the time is right to extend our support and prepare our future leaders for success."
"Fifteen years in and we know the best is yet to come thanks to the support of our employees, along with the terrific collaborations we've embarked on with Fred Rogers Productions, Sesame Workshop and National Head Start Association," said Sally McCrady, president and chair of the PNC Foundation. "We look forward to making an even greater impact by helping more families, teachers and others inspire the love of learning in our youngest children."
In addition to the increased funding, details of the year-long celebration include:
"PNC and Fred Rogers Productions share the vision that kids come first, now and always," said Paul Siefken, president and CEO of Fred Rogers Productions. "We're proud of our longtime collaboration, and together we're creating a roadmap that ensures children have the tools they need to thrive from the very beginning. Congratulations to our Pittsburgh neighbors on 15 extraordinary years of Grow Up Great."
Since 2004, Grow Up Great has focused on helping to prepare children, especially underserved children, from birth to age 5, for success in school and life. The initiative goes beyond the classroom, supporting learning and social-emotional development of children at home and across communities by also providing free resources and tools to parents, guardians, caregivers and neighborhood organizations.
Access to high-quality early childhood education and resources is critical. Research shows that quality early education reduces dropout rates, poverty and crime while improving the skills of tomorrow's workforce.
Highlights of PNC Grow Up Great's impact over the last 15 years include:
Throughout the year, PNC will continue the anniversary celebration with additional initiatives and events continuing to support the efforts of early childhood education champions – the teachers, experts, caregivers and parents committed to building a foundation for success.
The PNC Foundation, which receives its principal funding from The PNC Financial Services Group (www.pnc.com), actively supports organizations that provide services for the benefit of communities in which it has a significant presence. The foundation focuses its philanthropic mission on early childhood education and community and economic development, which includes the arts and culture. Through Grow Up Great, its signature cause that began in 2004, PNC has created a bilingual $500 million, multi-year initiative to help prepare children from birth to age 5 for success in school and life.
