SOMERSET First National Bank of Pennsylvania has donated $11,000 for the second year in a row to the Friends of Flight 93 National Memorial.
The donation is part of the state’s Education Improvement Tax Credit program.
Friends’ President Donna Gibson, vice president and retail market manager with First National Bank of Pittsburgh, has been an advocate for the Friends EITC program.
The Friends are approved by the state Department of Community and Economic Development as an Educational Improvement Organization eligible to receive EITC contributions from qualified businesses. The Friends work to educate today’s generation of Americans born after 2001 about 9/11 and how Flight 93 ended the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history. Education programs support grade levels as young as Kindergarten to those in 12th grade.
