Orrstown Bank Think Pink Checking Promotion
May 5, 2008    Orrstown Bank, Shippensburg



Orrstown Bank conceived of a very original idea to raise funds for the PBCC.  They created a checking account called Think Pink Checking.  Crystal Stine, Administrative Assistant in the Orrstown Bank Marketing Department and Sarah Lightman, PBCC staffer, show off a Think Pink poster.



All Think Pink Checking account holders will receive a pink debit card with the PBCC logo on it!  Above, Mark Bayer, Orrstown Bank VP and Director of Marketing (second from left), and other bank employees present Heather Hibshman (center) and the PBCC with a check for $2000.  Each Think Pink Checking account a customer opens will result in a $20 donation to the PBCC!



Orrstown Bank is promoting their
Think Pink Checking with lots of publicity!
 



Watch for Think Pink billboards all over the central PA region!  Sign up for your Think Pink Checking account at any Orrstown Bank branch!
