Malvern Bank, National Association has joined forces with the law firm Greenberg Traurig to sponsor the exhibitors lounge at the 2021 Pennsylvania National Horse Show.

Held Oct. 14-23 at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, the Pennsylvania National Horse Show hosts the country’s top competitors in one of the largest indoor horse shows. Proceeds benefit the nonprofit Pennsylvania National Horse Show Foundation.

“The Malvern Bank Equestrian Division believes in supporting the best events the sport offers, while also investing in our local community,” said Anthony C. Weagley, President and CEO of Malvern Bank. “The Pennsylvania National Horse Show attracts top athletes each year and also supports nonprofit organizations within our community, so sponsoring this competition was a natural fit for Malvern Bank, and we are thrilled to do it alongside Greenberg Traurig, LLP who also believes in supporting top equestrian events.”
