Since 2004, PNC Grow Up Great has empowered children from birth to age 5 to unlock their curiosity and passion for lifelong learning. Through supporting and delivering dynamic programs, hands-on experiences, and valuable resources, we’re not only expanding educational opportunities for young minds, but also laying a foundation for stronger communities and a brighter future for generations to come. 

It has been a privilege to serve on the PNC Grow Up Great Advisory Council for several years. This role allows me to collaborate with a diverse group of dedicated professionals in early childhood education, all committed to driving transformative change across the sector. Together, we work to advance policy initiatives, advocate for increased funding of essential programs, and promote financial literacy starting at an early age. These efforts are vital in ensuring that every child has access to the support and tools they need to achieve their fullest potential. 

Later this week, I will be traveling to Pittsburgh to a PNC Advisory Board Council meeting, and I look forward to sharing what I learned with you during next week’s blog.
