Credit analyst Cathy Swanson, who serves on the Milwaukee school’s Home & School Committee, volunteered at the event. North Shore Bank also donated bags for the trick-or-treaters.
Kids of all ages collected candy.
“We arranged a slightly different event this year because of COVID-19 restrictions,” Cathy said. “Families signed up to decorate their trunks and trick-or-treat. We had tiny flashlights, Pizza Hut pizza, water, and a raffle. Everyone really enjoyed themselves.”

Over 175 business leaders and community members came out for the gala event, where five local businesses were honored. Katie presented the Pivot Award to FIRE Fitness Camp of Hobart, in recognition of the franchise’s ability to adapt to the new landscape created by COVID-19 by adjusting its business model to meet client needs.
