Peoria Rivermen and PNC Bank Team Up for Education

The Peoria Rivermen are not just making waves on the ice; they're also creating a ripple effect in the community. In partnership with PNC Bank, they've launched an innovative initiative called "Goals for Great."

How It Works

• Every home goal scored during the 2025-26 season = $50 donation to the Peoria Public Schools Foundation.
• Funds will support the Valeska Hinton Early Childhood Education Center.

Why Early Education?

• Critical learning period: Children who start kindergarten ready to learn are more likely to succeed.
• Building a brighter future: Investing in early education helps Peoria's youngest students thrive.

Rivermen's Commitment to Education

• Players reading to children in area schools.
• Annual Education Day home game.

The Bigger Picture

The "Goals for Great" campaign isn't just about raising funds; it's about raising awareness for the importance of early education. The Rivermen and PNC Bank hope to inspire others to support this vital cause.

Next Time They Score...

Remember, it's not just a point on the board. It's a step towards a better future for Peoria's children.
