Kish Bank’s Kish for the Cure Campaign Raises Record $103,000 for Central PA Cancer-Fighting Nonprofits
STATE COLLEGE, PA – February 19, 2026 – Kish Bank is proud to announce that its 2025 Kish for the Cure campaign raised a record-breaking grand total of over $103,000 in support of the Bob Perks Cancer Assistance Fund, Pennsylvania Pink Zone, and American Cancer Society events in Central PA. The donations were presented this month to the three organizations at Kish Bank’s State College North Atherton Financial Center.
Kish for the Cure is Kish’s employee-led fundraising effort supporting local cancer-related nonprofits. With the support of customers, local businesses, and the community, Kish’s annual campaign has raised more than $728,000 in total for its beneficiaries since it began in 2012. The Bob Perks Fund, Pink Zone, and the American Cancer Society champion the fight against cancer in the Central PA region by funding research, treatment programs at area hospitals, and critical financial support for local individuals and families facing cancer.
Upon receiving the donation, Robin Heim, Board President of the Bob Perks Fund, said, “On behalf of the Bob Perks Fund, we want to thank Kish Bank for their continued financial support of our mission, helping local cancer patients pay for daily living expenses. The Kish community’s ongoing commitment makes a meaningful difference in our ability to serve our seven-county region. Thank you for standing with us and helping make our work possible.”
Tammy Miller, Board President of PA Pink Zone, said, “We’re honored to call Kish Bank a true partner. The passion of the Kish community lifts up so many Central PA families facing breast cancer, and this record year will help us do even more.”
Tom Chucuddy, Senior Development Manager for the American Cancer Society, also expressed gratitude on behalf of the organization and its mission, saying, “Cancer touches every family, including ours. With Kish Bank’s record support—and the dedication of volunteers across Central PA—the American Cancer Society can be there with answers, rides, lodging, and research that saves lives. We’re grateful for this partnership and what it makes possible.”
Kish would like to extend heartfelt thanks to its customers and partners, local businesses, and the community for joining in the fight against cancer with donations to the Kish for the Cure campaign.
