Thank you for your kind words and for all that you do to make Oswego such a wonderful place to call home! 💚

Our community has always been at the heart of who we are, and we're proud to stand alongside organizations like the Oswego Renaissance Association that share our passion for strengthening neighborhoods, building connections and creating a brighter future for our community.

We're grateful for 13 years of partnership and look forward to all that we can continue to accomplish together.

Thank You, Pathfinder Bank— Our Longest-Running Corporate Supporter!

The ORA is especially proud to recognize Pathfinder Bank, which has supported the Oswego Renaissance Association every year since 2013, making them our longest-running corporate supporter! For 13 years, Pathfinder has partnered with us, both financially and strategically, in countless ways to help strengthen Oswego's neighborhoods.

We are particularly grateful to Jim Dowd, President of Pathfinder Bank and a lifelong Oswegonian, who has been a strong advocate for the ORA's work from its earliest years. Jim has met with our board members many times over the years, offering encouragement, advice, and support as the organization has grown.

But Pathfinder's commitment to Oswego extends FAR beyond the ORA. Through its support of Oswego Health, Farnham Family Services, Oswego Harborfest, the Greater Oswego Fulton Chamber of Commerce, and more than 70 other community sponsorships this year alone, Pathfinder helps make an enormous difference in the community we all share.

Founded right here in Oswego in 1859, Pathfinder has been part of this city for more than 165 years. We are fortunate to have a local banking institution that continues to invest so generously in the people, neighborhoods, organizations, and events that make Oswego a better place to live.

To Jim Dowd, the Pathfinder Bank Board, and the entire Pathfinder team — THANK YOU for your extraordinary commitment to Oswego and for 13 years of partnership with the ORA. We are proud to have you alongside us!
