Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PPBI), the holding company of Pacific Premier Bank (the “Bank”), announced today the Bank has committed $100,000 over the next two years to support Susan G. Komen’s (“SGK”) Financial Assistance Program (“KFA”). The KFA is focused on advancing health equity for under-insured, uninsured, and underserved populations.

The Bank is dedicated to addressing health inequalities and improving access to breast cancer care. SGK helps women and men, including those with little or no health insurance, receive breast health education, screening, treatment, and support. 1 in 8 women in the U.S. will face a breast cancer diagnosis during their lifetime. Every 12 minutes, a woman in the U.S. dies from breast cancer. Experts say one-third of breast cancer deaths in the U.S. could be prevented with universal access to modern treatments.

“The Bank’s support for Komen’s health equity mission grows our ability to deliver on saving lives by meeting the most critical needs in our communities,” said Megan Klink, Vice President of Susan G. Komen’s West Region. “With the Bank's partnership, we are helping breast cancer patients in need access and complete life-saving treatment."

“Pacific Premier is proud to partner with Susan G. Komen in the important fight against breast cancer, particularly in supporting underserved women and men,” said Sherri Scott, Sr. EVP/Chief ESG & Corporate Responsibility Officer for Pacific Premier Bank. “We hope our support provides more access to treatment and education as well as financial peace of mind to those affected by the disease.”
