Throughout this week, we have celebrated numerous touching stories and acts of kindness from our associates, each contributing to the betterment of our communities. From supporting local schools and rescue missions, to helping families and students in need, the Million Dreams Initiative has demonstrated the profound difference we can make when we come together with a shared purpose. Here’s a snapshot of a few associates’ reflection on the initiative: Chad Uhl reflected on the initiative's broader significance, “The Million Dreams Initiative reminds us of the incredible impact we can make together. By giving each of us the opportunity to support causes close to our hearts, like it showcases the power of collective generosity. I love seeing how contributions and acts of kindness can create lasting impact in our communities.” Kristie Massa expressed her enthusiasm, saying, “When I heard about the Million Dreams Initiative, I was thrilled! Our bank’s generosity in community giving is incredible and having the chance to choose where to direct our donation was truly rewarding. Hearing the stories from fellow bankers about why they chose to give was equally inspiring.” Nicole Davis shared, "I chose to double Park's $100 gift and bought gift cards for local university students at Ohio University Lancaster to make them feel seen and celebrated for their sacrifices and successes." #ParkNationalBank #MillionDreamsInitiative #NationalPhilanthropyDay #TogetheratPark #ParkCares #BankonBelonging #MakingADifference #WorldKindnessDay

We are thrilled to share another heartwarming story from Park National Bank's Million Dreams Initiative. This time, we honor the incredible impact made by our associate, Tiffany Penner whose generous donation went to Anchor Christian Academy. Lauren Updegrave, Administrator of Anchor Christian Academy, expressed her gratitude: “On behalf of Anchor Christian Academy, I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous financial contributions this year. Your support plays a crucial role in enhancing the education experiences of our students and enriching their learning development.” Tiffany shared, “My donation went to Anchor Christian Academy to help a family with a tuition payment. This school holds a special place in my heart. My 4 children attend there and love the smaller class sizes and the high standard curriculum. The mission of Anchor Christian Academy is to train up and send out missionaries of Godly character who will blend academic achievement and Biblical truth to change their world. They are in their 5th year of operation.” Stay tuned for more inspiring stories as we celebrate World Kindness Day and National Philanthropy Day through Park National Bank’s Million Dreams Initiative. #ParkNationalBank #MillionDreamsInitiative #NationalPhilanthropyDay #AnchorChristianAcademy #TogetheratPark #ParkCares #BankonBelonging #MakingADifference #WorldKindnessDay

We are honored to spotlight another amazing contribution as part of Park National Bank's Million Dreams Initiative. Cyndy Wright Sellers from our Cincinnati Division has made a heartfelt donation to For the Love of Kittens, Inc., a unique rescue dedicated to abandoned kittens and pregnant cats. Founded by Sharon Ollinger in 2017, For the Love of Kittens, Inc. addresses the desperate and unmet needs of these vulnerable animals. Sharon's extensive self-taught knowledge on bottle-feeding neo-natal kittens and her commitment to teaching seminars throughout the Greater Cincinnati area are truly commendable. She provides 24x7x365 support to caregivers, showcasing her boundless compassion and dedication. Cyndy expressed, “I so admire the compassion, strength, and tireless devotion she brings to her mission. Thank you, Park National Bank, for the chance to donate to this one-of-a-kind rescue that is so close to my heart! For the love of kittens!” Sharon said, “What the bank did is exactly what this world needs now – acts of kindness that change lives be it human or animal. This donation that was given to For The Love of Kittens rescue helped pay for needed medical supplies for the kittens. I can’t thank Cyndy and the bank enough for their generosity.” Stay tuned for more inspiring stories as we celebrate National Philanthropy Day and World Kindness Day! #ParkNationalBank #MillionDreamsInitiative #NationalPhilanthropyDay #ForTheLoveOfKittens #CaringForKittens #TogetheratPark #ParkCares #BankonBelonging #MakingADifference #WorldKindnessDay

We are thrilled to showcase the incredible efforts of our associates as part of Park National Bank's Million Dreams Initiative. Today, we spotlight our wonderful associate, Teri Beebe, who had the opportunity to contribute to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Teri said, “This cause holds a special place in my heart as my 9-year-old nephew, Conlee, was diagnosed with CF when he was just two weeks old. Thanks to the efforts of the CF Foundation, Conlee can live a more 'normal' life. Every year, Conlee, along with his parents, sister, and many other family members, participates in the CF Walk in Columbus, Ohio. This event helps spread awareness about CF and raises funds for the foundation to continue its mission of adding tomorrows to the lives of those affected by CF.” Kristina Handshy (and Conlee’s mother) from the Foundation said, “Conlee spends a lot of time every day working hard to fight this disease, and it is such a great feeling when our family and friends take notice and want to help. CF is a rare disease, so it definitely gets less publicity, and the donations are harder to come by. When we heard about Park National Bank’s Million Dollar Dreams initiative, it made us so happy to see them include some lesser-known organizations in our community. Thank you so much!” Stay tuned to see more stories of our associates’ incredible contributions as we continue to celebrate National Philanthropy Day and World Kindness Day. #ParkNationalBank #MillionDreamsInitiative #NationalPhilanthropyDay #CysticFibrosisFoundation #TogetheratPark #ParkCares #BankonBelonging #WorldKindnessDay #MakingADifference #WorldKindnessDay

Chrissy said, “I couldn't be prouder to help this organization reach their dream and grow into a place to help heal children and their families.” Executive Director of The Harcum House, Cody Tatum, expressed his gratitude, saying, “This donation from the Million Dreams initiative brings Harcum House closer to its dream of its own safe, dedicated facility for children impacted by abuse.

Jeff also finds time to volunteer throughout the community, serving on the boards of the Richland County Land Bank, Downtown Mansfield, Inc., and NAMI Richland County.

Here’s to many more! #ParkNationalBank #WorkAnniversary ?
