Clare Bank Gives $25,000 to PCA
The Platteville Community Arboretum is pleased to announce the first ever business named endowment, called the “Clare Bank Endowment for PCA”. Pat Clare, the Clare Bank Chairperson, President and CEO, said, “The PCA volunteers do an outstanding job of maintaining the trail. Barbara Jean and I recently enjoyed our walk on the trail with our dogs noticing the trail had never looked better! Clare Bank is appreciative of all those who take the time to care for the trail and we are pleased to help sustain it forever.”
This gift has sent huge ripples throughout the organization. PCA Volunteer Ron Weier noted that “Pat, Barbara Jean and the Clare Bank team are philanthropic environmentalists and very much appreciated.” Clare Bank has helped the endowment campaign make a huge jump towards the goal of $625,000.
Gene Weber also said about Clare Bank that, “They, along with the many of our local businesses, support our wonderful PCA volunteers on an ongoing basis and enable our ~100 volunteers to provide our residents, students, trail users, and visitors a joyful and peaceful daily experience.”
