PITTSBURGH - PennZone -- JKS Financial, a financial services firm with Northwestern Mutual, continues its support of the Pittsburgh community by partnering with the University of Pittsburgh to sponsor the school's Rebound Rewards program throughout the 2022-2023 men's basketball season. As part of this partnership, JKS Financial, together with Northwestern Mutual, donated more than $10,000 to United Way of Southwestern Pennsylvania.

Through the Rebound Rewards program, JKS Financial committed to a $10 donation for every rebound recorded by the Pittsburgh Panthers during the regular men's basketball season.
