Firstrust Bank is excited to once again support the Point Breeze Community Appreciation Day in the neighborhood where the bank was founded 90 years ago.

The theme of this year’s event, which will be held on Saturday, Aug. 24 from 12-8 PM in the Point Breeze neighborhood of South Philadelphia, is Education Matters 2024.

Point Breeze Community Appreciation Day will feature social service information, educational resources, live entertainment, free food, and amusement rides.

Established in 1934, Firstrust Bank has deep-rooted history in the Point Breeze, where founder Samuel Green was driven by a vision to create a secure haven for homeownership at a time when commercial banks were not lending to certain segments of the community.

Firstrust Bank has evolved through the decades, expanding its reach and services, but one thing that hasn’t changed is its commitment to Point Breeze, the community where it all began. The bank has continuously and steadfastly served Point Breeze for 90 years, even when every other financial institution has either left the neighborhood or been determined not to be there at all.
