PCSB BANK HELPS LEAD PUTNAM HEART WALK

PCSB Bank employees were out in full force for the 2016 Putnam Heart Walk on April 24th, raising $51,465 for the American Heart Association (AHA). The PCSB Bank Team included 129 employees, along with hundreds of family members, friends, and pets.

During the past 13 years, PCSB Bank has raised a grand total of more than $487,000 for the AHA, retaining its title as Top Walking Team of Putnam County. This year’s walkathon, which embarked from Brewster High School, celebrated local survivors of heart disease and stroke, helped to raise awareness, and funded research and programs of the American Heart Association.

“The Putnam Heart Walk provides an opportunity for PCSB Bank employees to come together and have a great day for a great cause,” says Joseph D. Roberto, chairman, president and chief executive officer of PCSB Bank. “As a community-focused bank, we are sincerely committed to supporting this cause, which has such a profound impact on the health and well-being of Americans.”

The Putnam Heart Walk raises funds for the American Heart Association, which is dedicated to building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular heart diseases and stroke. The AHA’s current goal is to improve the cardiovascular health of all Americans by 20 percent while reducing deaths from cardiovascular disease and stroke by 20 percent by the year 2020. The AHA works to achieve this goal by improving patient care and advocating for better health; raising awareness and educating Americans; and protecting the future by helping children develop lifelong health habits.

PCSB Bank operates 15 banking centers, in Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, and Rockland counties. The bank recently changed its name from Putnam County Savings Bank after 145 years.
