Bedminster, NJ, Dec. 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- viaNewMediaWire --Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select Market: PGC) and Peapack-Gladstone Bank believe the holiday season offers the perfect opportunity for companies to support their communities and the causes important to their employees and clients. In the spirit of the holiday season, each year the Bank has a tradition of choosing a local charity to contribute to on behalf of its employees, clients and friends.

We are so pleased to help them continue their efforts both now, and for future generations. Past holiday donation recipients have included Americas Grow-a-Row, United Way of Northern New Jersey, Veterans Administration New Jersey Health Care System, Covenant House and Evas Village.
