The Bears, in collaboration with PNC, hosted the PNC Small Business Summit at Halas Hall last week. Several PNC & Bears leaders shared their industry insight followed by a panel discussion led by PNC regional Business Banking executive Sherry Jursa, joined by other leaders: Bears Director of Brand Creative John Conroy, Peppo's Subs owner Robert Peppo and CEO of Sugar Bliss Teresa Ging. "At PNC, we recognize the vital role small businesses play in driving economic growth, job creation, and innovation across Chicagoland. As the official bank of the Bears, we're proud to come together to provide unique insight for business owners as they consider their growth strategies and financial wellness," said Jursa. The event included an educational workshop geared to reinforce the joint commitment by PNC and the Bears to positively impact communities and help small businesses succeed.
