BMO Harris is a full-service financial institution that provides basic banking, mortgage, business banking, financial planning and investment services. In addition, BMO Harris provides a comprehensive set of Investment and Wealth Management services. BMO Harris’ Palatine Market currently invests in 47 community organizations, including PTSCC, through charitable donations and employee involvement. BMO Harris will again be a major sponsor in 2016 and is represented by Marla Shapiro-Gillen on the PTSCC Board.
BMO Harris Regional President Jack Lloyd is a strong believer in community investment. Since his graduation from the University of Notre Dame, his goal has been to become a hometown banker. In a banking career spanning 35 years, Lloyd has lived and worked all over the United States, so this native of Rolling Meadows has returned to his roots. He and his wife Linda, along with BMO Bank, invest in the community by being members of the PTSCC Heritage Society, which recognizes those who have made qualified donations to The Stokes Fund, the PTSCC endowment, or have included PTSCC in their final plans. “You may be at a time in your life where you aren’t sure what amount to leave to charity in your will. Just start! Include charitable giving in your will or trust, and then update them regularly. You may be able to give more later,” Lloyd advises. Thanks to BMO Harris and the Lloyds for their outstanding support for PTSCC and the community!
