Our Libertyville office raised a total of $1,430 in their latest fundraiser to benefit P.A.D.S. of Lake County.  The check show here for $705 was collected by soliciting donations at brokers opens.  The rest of the money was raised by auctioning off the items on the table shown here.

The thunder rolled and funds rained in at our Libertyville office's 2008 Bowl-a-thon!  After the 50+ prizes were raffled and the pins were bowled over, Libertyville's hard-working team was able to present P.A.D.S. of Lake County with a check for over $8,000!

Lincoln Park raised nearly $1,500 for the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless at its Bowl O’Thon in March.

The branch’s Good Will Network committee held the event across the street from their office at the Seven Ten Lounge, which donated the room, shoes and bowling lanes. Baird & Warner Financial Services’ Loan Consultant Monica Garver covered the cost of the food, so the charity would receive all of the night’s proceeds.

Our Lincoln Park branch kicked off their holiday season with a “festive tree-trimming party” in early December.

Sales Associates and staff members decorated their annual Giving Tree with paper stars that had the names of children who were staying at the Cornerstone Community Shelter. Natasha O’Connor, a trainer in the office who helped organize the event, said that “the stars practically flew off the tree just as soon as they were hung. In fact, we had to call the shelter for additional names of children at the request of participants in the office.”

Our Lincoln Park office’s Good Will Network committee raised more than $1,500 for the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless at a fundraiser in August.

In addition to the $10 admission fee to attend the event at Lakeview lounge Mix, items were up for bid in a silent auction.

CCH works to prevent and end homelessness through a variety of initiatives. They also provide job-training programs, including Coalition Café, through which they sell fair-trade coffee.

Autumn’s already been busy for Lincoln Park’s Good Will Network. 

First, the enterprising group organized a voter registration day at the end of September. Sales Associates manned a table in front of the office and ended up registering 25 people for the upcoming election. (photo at left: Jeff Beck attracts potential voters with candy and B&W trinkets)

Then, earlier this month, the office invited its charity, Chicago Coalition for the Homeless, to talk during a staff meeting.
