First Bank President and CEO Patrick L. Ryan was recently honored with the Live United Corporate Award by the United Way of Greater Mercer County.

This prestigious award recognizes both corporate and personal commitment to building stronger, more equitable communities.

“Receiving the Live United Corporate Award is a tremendous honor for both First Bank and myself,” stated Ryan. “It underscores our shared commitment to building communities where everyone can thrive.”

The significance of this Award is in alignment with First Bank’s and Ryan’s mission: To build a community bank focused on providing best-in-class services and access to capital for business owners and entrepreneurs in the New York City to Philadelphia corridor.

The United Way’s mission is to mobilize communities worldwide, connecting partners, donors, volunteers, and community leaders to address complex challenges and create positive impact. Helping others is part of the First Bank way, and the Bank is pleased to work alongside the United Way in its quest to make the surrounding communities great places to work, live, and play.

“Community building isn’t just a goal; it’s a responsibility we embrace at First Bank,” said Ryan. “This recognition from the United Way reinforces the importance of our mission of providing unparalleled service and support.”
