A giant, heartfelt THANK YOU to all of the North Shore Bank employees — as well as any customers, family, or friends you shared the word with — for helping raise $9,690 for Wisconsin honor flights for American military veterans. We collected almost 100 donations, totaling $5,690, for Stars and Stripes Honor Flight and Old Glory Honor Flight, and as promised, the bank then matched $2,000 in donations for both organizations.

It costs these groups around $500 to send a veteran to visit the military memorials in Washington, D.C. In all, we raised enough money to cover honor flights for about 19 vets. Way to go!
