Wayne Bank Supports the Bench Mark Program

Jim Donnelly, President and Chief Executive Officer of Wayne Bank, is pleased to announce that Wayne Bank has supported the Bench Mark Program through the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC).

Wayne Bank recently presented a donation of $3,000 to the Bench Mark Program in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. This contribution will help advance the organization's educational initiatives and support its EITC-approved curriculum, The Scientific Weightlifter.

"At Wayne Bank, we believe every young person deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential," said Mr. Donnelly. "The Bench Mark Program empowers students by building confidence, teaching life skills, and encouraging personal growth through innovative educational experiences. We're proud to support an organization that is making such a meaningful difference in the lives of young people throughout our communities."

The Bench Mark Program's mission is to help underserved youth transform their futures-one lift and one goal at a time. Through a variety of programs and curricula, the organization provides students with opportunities to develop leadership skills, build confidence, and achieve personal success. Program offerings include Open Gym, Student Leadership, Strength-Based Skill Building, Pre-Disposition, Suspension Alternative, and the School-Based Branch Site Program.

This gift was made possible because of the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program offered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, acting through the Department of Community and Economic Development.
