Courtesy of the sixth annual Mid Penn Bank Celebrity Golf Classic for Breast Cancer Charity, Mid Penn Bank has donated $125,000 to the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition (PBCC).

The three-day Classic hosted 190 golfers and more than 50 celebrities. The events included a golf tournament, shoot-out, benefit auctions, and fundraising dinners held July 13-15 at Colonial Golf and Tennis Club and the Hershey Resorts.

Celebrity guests included former NFL stars Ron Jaworski, DeAngelo Hall, Mike Quick, Merril Hoge, Seth Joyner, Mike Vick, and Hugh Green; NHL legend Grant Fuhr; and musician Thomas McClary.

The PBCC is a statewide nonprofit with the mission of “Finding a cure now, so our daughters don’t have to.” The PBCC strives to increase public and private funding for breast cancer research, legislative advocacy, and provide high-quality screening, diagnosis support, and treatment.

“We are proud to support the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition, and we stand with them in the fight against breast cancer,” said Mid Penn Bank President and CEO Rory Ritrievi. “Every year, with each dollar donated, we get closer to a cure and closer to eradicating this horrible illness.”

Since its inception in 2016, the Classic has contributed more than $575,000 to breast cancer research. 

Mid Penn Bank is strongly committed to supporting charitable organizations through corporate donations, employee volunteerism, and fundraising. The bank frequently contributes to causes that include health and human services, community improvement, and education.
