BMO Harris employees rolled up their sleeves and lent a helping hand as part of the sixth annual North American BMO Harris Volunteer Day.

As part of BMO Harris Volunteer Day, Milwaukee-area employees volunteered at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Milwaukee and worked with children to help them create flags to celebrate Flag Day. After the flags were created, Bango from the Milwaukee Bucks led a parade of approximately 100 flag-waving children as they walked through Sherman Park, a neighborhood in which BMO recently made a major reinvestment announcement.

“Employee volunteering is embedded in BMO’s culture and is a source of pride for our company,” said Jud Snyder, senior executive, Milwaukee, BMO Harris Bank. “Volunteer Day is a unique opportunity that allows us to give as well as to learn about the needs of those around us.”
