Why Penn Community Bank walks for a cure
in Fundraising

We’re 2 days away from Bucks County Walk Day!
Welcome to the Breakthrough T1D One Walk Bucks County Countdown! This week we are spotlighting our Bucks Walk volunteers and all that they make possible. Today, we celebrate the support of local businesses and organizations—our Corporate Walk teams! When our corporate neighbors come together with their community at our Breakthrough T1D One Walk, they create change and positively impact lives of those living with T1D.

Read below to find out why Penn Community Bank joins the T1D community at the Bucks County Walk, as shared by Team Captain Bhaveraj Patel:
Why does Penn CB choose to participate in Breakthrough T1D One Walk?
We think that this is a cause that most people are not aware of, and it can be everyday struggles of people we work or interact with and we would not even know. This Walk would be a great way to raise awareness for T1D.
Does Penn CD have any personal type 1 diabetes (T1D) connections?
One of our Team Members has a close friend with T1D.
How does Penn CB fundraise for the Walk? How do you raise awareness of T1D within your company or in the community?
Penn CB fundraises for the Walk by getting donations from our team members, families, and friends. Also, we have a Facebook fundraiser in which people can share through their Facebook accounts and raise money there.
We include Breakthrough T1D in our daily Friday Bulletin, as well as a biweekly Wednesday Newsletter that covers Health and Fitness. Also, an article about Breakthrough T1D and T1D was posted on our webpage, encouraging employees to join our team.
What is your team’s favorite part of being involved with Breakthrough T1D and One Walk?
Our favorite part would mainly be participating and knowing that we are making a difference and spreading awareness of this cause. Also, the Walk is healthy for us as well, and it’s fun to participate along with friends and family members. It’s a good way to unite the Penn Community Bank team.
