2017 Celebration of the Public Citizen

On Tuesday, May 16, 2017, PNC and Jean Canfield, Senior Vice President of Client & Community Relations, will be honored by Public Citizens for Children and Youth as the 2017 Public Citizen of the Year.

The event will be held at the city’s newly minted Museum of the American Revolution and will celebrate Jean and the Bank’s longstanding and visionary commitment to improving the quality of early childhood education.

Your participation in this auction will demonstrate your appreciation of the consistent, groundbreaking work that Jean has led on behalf of PNC to improve the lives of young children through the $350-million PNC Grow Up Great initiative.
