PHILANTHROPY
On August 8, 2022, nearly 300 West Bend agents, business partners, friends, and associates came together for the Silver Lining Classic to raise funds for Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin and other organizations that fight hunger in our communities. The Silver Lining Classic is West Bend’s biennial charity event established to support worthy charities that do so much for the communities where we work and live.
This year’s event, which included a golf outing, dinner, and silent auction, was as huge success! We raised more than $500,000, significantly exceeding our goal of $250,000. We were thrilled to present Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin with a check for $250,000. The remaining funds will be distributed to other Feeding America locations and food banks in areas where West Bend does business.
We’re so thankful for the contributions, generosity, and support of our agents and business partners, who made this possible, with many of them traveling from around the state, as well as Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, and Michigan to help us combat hunger.
Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin is the leading local hunger relief organization in the state, providing access to nutritious food. The organization serves rural, suburban, and urban locations across 35 eastern Wisconsin counties. This is essential as more than half a million Wisconsinites face hunger, including nearly 200,000 children.
