Community Involvement
Running for a Cause
This May almost 900 community members signed up for the Run, Walk, Rock event sponsored by Lory's Place. Here is Mike Wyble with Dr. Tim and Wendy.
Our own Kathy Trainor and many Baird clients participated in supporting this great organization.
Honoring our Veterans
Kathy Trainor contacted the South Haven VFW and Parks Depts. This is the second year that we have helped place flags at the gravesites of those who have served our country.
Annual Charity Golf Outing
In 2020, we started a charity golf outing. We had 28 golfers that first year raised just over $3000 for the Therapeutic Equestrian Center. In 2021, we had 84 golfers and raised over $10,000 for TEC. This year we have over 120 golfers signed up.
It has been a lot of fun, but it is a lot of work.

A Caring Community Partner
Baird has a long tradition of giving back in the communities where our associates live and work, and many give generously of their time, talents and personal resources to local organizations. Our associates also support annual firm level campaigns to raise funds for local and national charities. And our Baird Foundation provides financial support for causes ranging from fighting homelessness and hunger to promoting education and the arts.
Other ways Baird supports associates’ passion for giving back include Baird Gives Back Week; an event encouraging associates to team up in their communities and volunteer in a range of activities, including tutoring students, working with seniors, building homes and cleaning up parks.

We are involved in the community work of Lory's Place. Mike Wyble serves on the executive board.
