Baylake Bank Financial Centers will be closed on Monday, November 12, 2012, in observance of Veterans Day – but employees won’t have the day off. Instead, they will be participating in all-employee educational meetings and training, as well as recognize team service project efforts to raise money for Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin.

For the past several months, Baylake employees have conducted fund raising initiatives including bake sales, bratwurst and hot dog cook-outs, and “Casual Days for a Cause,” where employees could wear jeans to work in exchange for a donation to the designated organization. This year, employees selected Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin as the beneficiary of their bank-wide community service efforts to help support the hospital’s work in providing specialized care for the children of our communities. “When the need arises for specialized children's care, Baylake Bank's employees and communities are thankful to have such a high quality facility ready to care for our children and working in partnership with other local health care providers,” said Executive Vice President Teresa Rosengarten. She added, “Giving back to the community has been part of our mission for more than 135 years. We’re very proud to continue this tradition.”

With premier programs for congenital heart defects and heart disease in children, pediatric bone marrow transplantation, pain management in children from infants to adolescents, and other standard-setting specialties, the pediatric subspecialists, specialists and pediatricians of Children's Hospital of Wisconsin deliver outstanding pediatric care to the children in our region.

For anyone interested in contributing, all Baylake locations will continue to accept donations until November 7, 2012 to benefit Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. Baylake Bank serves its Wisconsin communities from 23 financial centers and from its website at www.baylake.com. For more information call (920) 743-5551 or 1-800-267-3610.
