                 Girls Experience Fun in Finance at PNC's
                 `Take Our Daughters to Work Day' Program

          PNC `Adopts' Police Athletic League Girls for the Day

  WHAT:   An action-packed day to inspire, encourage, and enlighten girls
         about the business world and get them thinking about planning a
         successful career by putting their own special talents to use.
         Concurrent sessions:

          Bank Teller Training -- Using almost real money, the girls will
         perform all the skills of a real bank teller: currency and
         counterfeit identification, deposit and withdrawal procedures, and
         customer service.

          "Winning Colors" -- Shuffling cards of different colors, the
         girls will use this "Myers Briggs-like" personality assessment
         tool to discover and celebrate who they are and how they fit into
         the rainbow of the working world.

          Madison Avenue on Market Street -- Using clip art, markers, yarn,
         crayons and magazine cut-outs, the girls will develop posters
         advertising different careers.  Much more than an arts and crafts
         exercise, it's an opportunity to work in a team with strangers; an
         important skill in the business world.

  WHEN:   Thursday, April 26, 2001
  WHERE:  9:15 am - 12:30 pm Programs-1500 Market Street, Philadelphia
                               10th Floor training rooms
          2:30 - 3:30 pm     Wrap-up & advertising campaigns
                            -1600 Market St.
                             3rd Floor

  WHO:    100 girls ages 9 to 15 will be joined by their parents/sponsors
         and executives from The PNC Financial Services Group.  Included
         are several girls from the Police Athletic League "Positive
         Images" program, each of whom chose the PNC program over joining
         their own moms at work.  More than a dozen PNC executive women
         have joined forces to plan a meaningful day for their visitors.

  WHY:    To help young ladies from the greater Philadelphia region
         experience work and learn about opportunities for women, who by
         2008 will make up 48 percent of the workforce.
