TAX CREDIT PROVIDES BENEFITS TO STUDENTS IN NEED
Business Leadership Organized for Catholic Schools (BLOCS) will hold a news conference to announce the successful first year of the Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit program (EITC). Mr. J. William Mills III, Chair of BLOCS and President, The PNC Financial Services Group, Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey, will discuss how the tax incentive allows PNC Bank and other businesses to assist families working hard to send their children to schools of their choosing.
Other speakers will include Reverend Arthur Taraborelli, Pastor of Saint Thomas Aquinas Parish Elementary School and Ms. Etta Hansberry, whose children attend Saint Thomas Aquinas Parish School and who received a BLOCS/EITC award.
