Pride of Quakertown (POQ) is proud to recognize QNB Bank as our Founding Sponsor. Launched in 2010, POQ's mission is to help children at risk achieve their dreams through participation in extracurricular activities. Each year, POQ helps over 150 children in the Quakertown Community School District.

            "From the very beginning, QNB Bank has been instrumental in our success," said Jen Reich, co-founder of POQ. "Throughout this time, QNB's contributions have played a very significant role in our endeavors, amounting to over $20,000. We could not have helped so many of our kids without their enduring support. We can't thank the QNB team enough."

            "Participating in group sports or other team activities, youngsters learn about teamwork and how to get along with others, valuable skills on the road to success in adulthood," said Dave Freeman, CEO of QNB Bank. "We are honored to support this great local charity."

            Working through the counselors at the Quakertown Community School District, POQ helps children participate in a broad array of activities including music, art, sports and many other programs. Based on the counselors' recommendations, each child receives an individual scholarship that supports his or her desire to achieve and grow.

            Pride of Quakertown is a non-profit 501 (C) (3) that provides scholarships for needy children ages 5-18 to participate in extracurricular activities within the community. We believe that every child deserves the right to have access to any and all experiences that may enrich their lives and provide opportunities for growth and learning.

            We have developed partnerships with a variety of recreational program leaders to determine the best way to include a scholarship recipient into their desired program and through this relationship we have strengthened the bonds that occur within the Quakertown area.
