North Shore Bank employees came out for this year’s Swing With Shorewood gala at Milwaukee’s Discovery World science and technology museum on Saturday, May 6. The annual event is a fundraiser for the Shorewood SEED Foundation, which helps fund the village’s public schools. This year’s gala featured a Kentucky Derby theme, as it took place on the same day as the famous horse race.

The gala included an online auction, a raffle, a performance by the Shorewood High School Orchestra, and great food. Along with being a sponsor for the event, North Shore Bank contributed a basket as a raffle prize, containing a cooler, four tickets to the Milwaukee County Zoo (including passes for the North Shore Bank Safari Train and a parking pass), two water bottles, a blanket, stuffed animals, and some other fun treats.

““We all loved the music, food, and atmosphere,” Shorewood area branch manager Shannon Weber said. “I greatly enjoy how this event brings so many people from the community together in one place to support the school district and the children, and I am so grateful North Shore Bank can be a part of it.”
