Brookfield, Wis. – North Shore Bank today announced the community bank will help kick off Candy Cane Lane by hosting North Shore Bank Night on Friday, Nov. 29 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.

“There is so much to celebrate as we look ahead to another year of Candy Cane Lane and supporting the MACC Fund,” said Joline Lazarski, branch manager for North Shore Bank. “We’re excited to kick off the holiday season by once again sharing in the spirit of this beloved neighborhood event. We invite families and friends to join us in the festive celebration and help make a difference in the fight against childhood cancer.”

North Shore Bank will also collect coins in its annual “Change for a Cure” matching campaign from Nov. 29 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 donations up to $1,000.

Each season, the West Allis neighborhoods bordered by 96th Street on the west, 92nd Street on the east, Montana Avenue on the north, and Oklahoma Avenue on the south transform into a festive holiday light display called Candy Cane Lane. Families and friends come from all over the Midwest to drive or stroll through the uniquely decorated neighborhoods. The free event runs from Friday, Nov. 29 through Wednesday, Dec. 25.

In addition to donating at the branches, visitors can make a MACC Fund donation at Candy Cane Lane throughout the event and can donate online at www.candycanelanewi.com.
