North Shore Bank Kicks Off Annual Candy Cane Lane with “Change for a Cure” Matching Campaign for Childhood Cancer Research

BROOKFIELD, Wis. – North Shore Bank today announced the community bank will once again help kick off the annual Candy Cane Lane holiday lights display by hosting North Shore Bank Night on Friday, Nov. 25 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. During opening night, North Shore Bank will be onsite collecting donations for Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer, Inc. (MACC Fund). Additionally, bank employees will be on hand to collect loose change for the North Shore Bank “Change for a Cure” drive, in which the bank matches donations.

“Our decades-long partnership with Candy Cane Lane and the MACC Fund is one we continue to cherish year after year, and we’re thrilled to be supporting the neighborhood event again this year,” said Joline Lazarski, branch manager for North Shore Bank. “We encourage everyone to come out and join us in donating to help fight childhood cancer at this safe, festive, and worthwhile celebration.”

North Shore Bank will also collect coins in its annual “Change for a Cure” matching campaign from Nov. 25 through Dec. 25 at area North Shore Bank offices in Wisconsin. Throughout the state, anyone who stops at a bank office will be able to count their coins for free and donate a portion or all of the funds to the MACC Fund, which uses the funds to support the Medical College of Wisconsin, Children’s Hospital, University of WI, Cancer Center and Marshfield Clinic. The bank will match the donations up to $1,000.

Candy Cane Lane’s Mascot Night will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 9.  Mascots from around Milwaukee, including North Shore Bank’s own Seymour Savings, will welcome spectators to the holiday wonderland.

Each season, the West Allis neighborhood bounded by Oklahoma to Montana Avenues and 92nd to 96th Streets is transformed into a festive holiday lights display called Candy Cane Lane. People come from all over the Midwest to drive or stroll through the uniquely decorated neighborhood. The free event runs from Friday, Nov. 25 through Sunday, Dec. 25 this year. In addition to donating at the branches listed, visitors can make a MACC Fund donation at Candy Cane Lane throughout the event and can donate online at www.candycanelanewi.com.
