Penn Community Bank has teamed up with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms as part of a new corporate partnership.

As part of the multiyear agreement, Penn Community Bank will hold a prominent position with the franchise, featuring the naming rights of the PPL Center concourse and the owner of an executive suite.

Gliding into 2023

Penn Community Bank celebrated the partnership by serving as the presenting sponsor of the Lehigh Valley Phantoms New Year’s Eve game, which dovetailed into Allentown’s New Year’s Eve Celebration.

The festive gathering concluded with the World’s Largest Puck Drop at midnight.

Embedding into the Community

“We are happy to have Penn Community Bank join our team and be a part of the great work we’re doing here in the Lehigh Valley,” said Dennis Begley, Vice President of Partnerships and Premium Seating with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.

“From an unparalleled game-day experience to impactful charitable partnerships, we look forward to a long relationship that benefits our franchise, the bank, and the community as a whole,” he concluded.

“Penn Community Bank always wants to truly be a part of the communities we serve. Partnering with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms and being a part of the excitement in and around the PPL Center is a natural extension of that belief,” said Jeane M. Vidoni, Penn Community Bank President and CEO.

“We’re excited for this relationship and introducing ourselves and Greater Good Banking to individuals, families, and businesses across the Lehigh Valley.

Supporting the Wider Mission

As a mutual bank which gives five percent of its net income back to the community through charitable giving, plans are also in the works for Penn Community Bank to support the mission of Phantoms Charities.

That outreach focuses on improving the lives of children and adults in the Lehigh Valley and the surrounding communities, with a special emphasis on youth health, fitness, sports and education.

As part of Penn Community Bank’s organic growth strategy, the $2.6 billion institution announced earlier it was entering the Lehigh Valley market with new locations in Allentown and Bethlehem, as well as additional business banking and lending presence in the region.
