Students at Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee (BGCGM) will receive a special gift with the delivery of 15 new bikes assembled by more than 100 members of Associated Bank’s leadership team.
“We work to ensure our communities are represented in each of our leadership team meetings,” said Andy Harmening, president and CEO, Associated Bank and board member of BGCGM. “The bike build volunteer event provided a unique opportunity for our leaders to support one of our great community partners and bring a smile to a child’s face.”
Associated Bank supports Boys & Girls Clubs across its footprint through donations and volunteerism. The value of the clubs’ programs is evident in the success members have in school.
