The North Shore Bank Kindness Crew surprised Milwaukee County Zoo visitors by giving away hundreds of tickets for snacks, goat feedings, and Safari Train rides on Friday, June 16.
Looking smart in green centennial polo shirts, the employees on the Kindness Crew were at it for 100 straight minutes that afternoon, in celebration of the bank’s 100th birthday. Along with the tickets, crew members snapped mini Polaroid pictures for visitors and handed out Mold-A-Rama souvenirs.
VP marketing Kate Johnson played Seymour Savings and was a big hit with young zoo-goers.
Because the Kindness Crew Mob was intended to be a surprise, the bank didn’t promote it ahead of time. Much like our free gas giveaway last month, the lucky recipients were indeed surprised and quite pleased to be a part of our ongoing centennial celebration.
