Baylake Bank Employees Raise Funds for the MACC Fund

Green Bay, WI- May 1, 2015--Baylake Bank President and CEO Rob Cera recently announced fundraising results from a company-wide community service commitment. Cera and a group of Baylake Bank employees presented a check for $10,000 to Jon McGlocklin, former Milwaukee Bucks player and current television color analyst, and Co-Founder and the President of the MACC Fund on Friday, April 24, 2015 at the Baylake Bank City Center in downtown Green Bay.

Funds were raised by both Baylake Bank employees and a corporate donation from Baylake Bank. Employees raised 40% of the funds from a variety of activities including casual cause days, where employees can donate funds to wear jeans on a Friday, 50/50 raffles, collection of gift baskets for bucket raffles, and fundraising sales in Financial Centers.

Founded in 1976, Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer, Inc. (the MACC Fund) is dedicated to funding childhood cancer and related blood disorder research. While the MACC Fund has a strong following in Southern Wisconsin, Rob Cera, President and CEO of Baylake Bank, is passionate about bringing the message to the Green Bay and Fox Valley area. Since 1976, the MACC Fund has contributed $52 million dollars to childhood cancer and related blood disorders research and supports organizations such as The Medical College of Wisconsin, Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, and The University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center. If ever the need would arise, parents of Northeastern Wisconsin would rely on these expert teams for the care of their children. The reach of the support of the MACC Fund is not only Statewide, but international by the sharing of research completed at supported facilities.

Cera stated, "I'm motivated to help the MACC Fund grow, and to support my long-time friend Jon McGlocklin in expanding the impact and influence of the MACC Fund within our community. I'm so proud to lead a group of individuals at Baylake Bank who seize the opportunity to build relationships with organizations that provide assistance to those in need-when our employees start something, they go "all in." Whether the opportunity allows us to offer the best financial solution for a customer or volunteering and working together to support children and families in need, Baylake Bank staff strives to make a real difference."
