North Shore Bank Night will take place on opening night, Friday, Nov. 27 from 5 – 10 p.m., during which time, North Shore Bank will present Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer, Inc. (MACC Fund) with this monumental check. Additionally, bank employees will be on hand to collect loose change for the North Shore Bank Change for a Cure drive.
“We’ve had a long-time partnership with Candy Cane Lane and the MACC Fund, and we’re thrilled to be donating the final $2,514 that will help the program achieve an impressive $3 million milestone,” said Joline Lazarski, branch manager for North Shore Bank. “This year especially Candy Cane Lane is a great, safe way to festively celebrate the season, while supporting a crucial cause. We encourage everyone in the community to join us in donating this holiday season.”
