New way to raise funds!
CBN-PG introduces affinity credit card A new affinity card benefitting CBN-PG is now available through Capital One. The first time the card is used, $25 will be donated to CBN-PG, along with 1% of every purchase thereafter. To apply for the card online, please click on the card image to the left.
This Visa Platinum card promises all of the competitive credit card benefits with no annual fee and no interest for the first twelve months.
The CBN-PG Board of Directors does not want to encourage reckless spending or increased debt; however, if purchases must be made on credit, using the new card is a simple way to support CBN-PG's grants and scholarships at no additional cost.
