Heidi Hussli

Through the end of November, North Shore Bank’s northeast branches will offer free coin counting to raise funds for the Howard-Suamico Education Foundation’s Heidi Hussli Memorial Fund. The fund honors a 47-year-old Bay Port German teacher who died of COVID-19 in September.

Members of the public who take advantage of the free coin counting can donate some or all of the counted coins to the fund. North Shore Bank is matching donations up to a total $500.

“The funds will be used in a meaningful way to continue the traditions Heidi cherished with her German language students,” Howard-Suamico and Pulaski branch manager Katie Presser said in a press release. “We encourage everyone to please join us in donating.” Donations are also being accepted through the HSEF website.
