WELLSBORO, PA (Citizens & Northern Corporation, NASDAQ: CZNC) – C&N’s Giving Back, Giving Together program is making a difference again this year with its Standing Strong Against Cancer initiative. Since it launched on June 1, 2024, the campaign has already raised over $30,000, within one-third of its $100,000 goal. The money raised will directly support individuals in the local community who are battling cancer, providing financial relief and necessary resources to help them during their fight.

“Our team has done incredible work so far, but we’re not stopping here,” said Caitlin Hilliard, Senior Community Engagement Coordinator. “$30,000 is a great milestone, but we’re focused on hitting that $100,000 target because we know the impact these funds will have for families right here in our neighborhoods.”
