SOUDERTON, Pa., December 6, 2011 - Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania (NASDAQ: UVSP), parent company of Univest Bank and Trust Co., a full-service financial institution with 135 years of experience in delivering financial solutions including personal and business banking, online banking, residential mortgages, insurance products, investment and wealth advisory solutions*, contributed $132,600.00 to the North Penn United Way's 2011 capital campaign. The 2011 contribution was part of ongoing financial and volunteer support provided by the company and its employees.

"We are thrilled with this generous donation from Univest Corporation," said Sarah C. Whetstone, executive director of the North Penn United Way. "The ongoing kindness of Univest's employees and the dedication of the organization's employee giving match presents our community with this significant contribution year after year - and during a time when so many in our community are in need. Our long-standing relationship with Univest has allowed our local United Way to flourish and grow as an organization poised to take on the challenges facing our community."

As a pacesetter for the 2011 campaign, Univest encouraged its employees to increase contributions and help support the organization. The financial support was raised through a company-wide silent auction, the 2011 Univest employee corporate giving campaign and matched funds provided by Univest. In addition, 47 Univest employees volunteered at various organizations, renovating parks and buildings for local nonprofits during the United Way's Day of Caring event this past September.

"As one of our core values, we are committed to the community and being a socially responsible company," said K. Leon Moyer, president and CEO of Univest Bank and Trust Co. "To have so many of our own employees donate both their time and money, especially during these challenging times, is extremely heart warming."
