Peoples Security Bank & Trust Supports Marywood Athletics

as Ignite the Light Scoreboard Sponsor

Scranton, PA (September 25, 2026) — Marywood University has received a generous contribution from Peoples Security Bank & Trust as the official scoreboard sponsor of its Ignite the Light for Athletics campaign. The gift supports an improved home field experience for Marywood’s more than 500 student-athletes and the families, alumni, and fans who cheer them on.

The new scoreboard brings an integrated game clock, shot clocks, and penalty indicators to Marywood’s multipurpose turf field. It is part of a broader transformation of the complex that includes a new press box, expanded bleachers, and an upgraded sound system.

“Every one of our student-athletes deserves a place to compete that reflects the dedication they bring to Marywood,” said Lisa A. Lori, J.D., Marywood’s President. “Peoples Security Bank & Trust’s generous investment helps us build that experience. When our Pacers take the field, they will see a community that believes in them and is proud to stand behind them.”

“At Peoples Security Bank & Trust, we believe strong communities are built through opportunities that inspire teamwork, achievement, and pride,” said Gerard A. Champi, President & CEO of Peoples Security Bank & Trust. “We are pleased to support Marywood University's Ignite the Light for Athletics campaign and help create an enhanced experience for student-athletes and everyone who comes together to celebrate their accomplishments. This project reflects our shared commitment to investing in the future of our region.”

The turf field is home to men’s and women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s soccer, field hockey, and women’s flag football, plus numerous intramural and recreation programs that benefit all students at Marywood. Together, the improvements made through Ignite the Light for Athletics strengthen the experience for those teams and make game days more welcoming for the entire Marywood community.
