First Bank of Berne Supports Pennville Community Park Fundraiser

November 12, 2026

Portland, IN. — First Bank of Berne recently made a donation to Pennville Community Park in support of its Purse Bingo fundraiser. Proceeds from the event will go toward the park's revitalization project, helping improve a space that local families and residents can continue to enjoy.

Pennville Community Park provides a place for neighbors to gather and spend time outdoors. Through fundraising efforts like Purse Bingo, the Park Board and committee are working to raise money for improvements that will help maintain the park as a welcoming place for the community.

At First Bank of Berne, we understand how much local parks mean to small communities like Pennville. They give families a place to spend time together and provide opportunities for neighbors to connect. Contributing to the Purse Bingo fundraiser is one way the bank can help the community make improvements that residents will benefit from for years to come.

Representing Pennville Community Park at the check presentation were members of the Pennville Community Park Board and Purse Bingo Committee. Representing First Bank of Berne were Tracy Carpenter, Consumer Banker and Angela Paxson, Agribusiness Banker.

“It's great to see people in Pennville working together to make improvements to their park,” said Tracy Carpenter, Consumer Banker at First Bank of Berne. “Places like this are important to our small towns, and we're happy to help the Park Board and volunteers with a project that will benefit local families.”

Those interested in contributing to Pennville Community Park can contact the organization by mail at P.O. Box 221, Pennville, IN 47369.
