Last week, we celebrated the grand opening of our new Waterfront branch located in Homestead, PA! We were honored to have Best of the Batch Foundation co-founders, Charlie Batch and Latasha Wilson-Batch, and Cue Perry, a local artist, at the event. Cue participated in a live painting for attendees and unveiled the final piece for our foyer. As part of our commitment to Pittsburgh, we donated to the Best of Batch Batchpacks for Kids program, which provides backpacks and school supplies to students in need. With back-to-school season around the corner, we wanted to support those children and provide student service webinars for parents and students about college planning. We’re proud to make a positive impact on 3,800+ children through Batchpacks for Kids and to support the local Pittsburgh community! #MadeReady #Citizens #CitizensBank
