About Baird Gives Back Week

Held annually since 2009, Baird Gives Back Week provides associates with opportunities to give back to the communities we call home. This special week is an annual Baird sponsored firm wide effort to give back to the communities that Baird is privileged to work within. Baird participants throughout the country unite to organize events and drives to benefit local charities and organizations.

Baird Gives Back Week Goals:

• To have all the Bellevue Branch associates participate in the weeks events
• Promote a Team atmosphere within the branch, and within the Baird community
• Give back to the community we work and live in
• To help people that are currently not as fortunate as we are
• To have fun
