“Univest is proud to partner with the IronPigs to raise funds for Wildlands Conservancy,” said Phil Jackson, president, corporate banking, Univest Bank and Trust Co. “For 137 years, Univest has helped our customers and communities to ‘Believe in Local’ by providing financial solutions, community leadership and volunteer support to the local communities we serve. We’re delighted to have
the opportunity to go to bat in the Lehigh Valley and raise money for Wildlands Conservancy.”
