Community Involvement

The Holter Financial Group is dedicated to giving back to the community through their Community Outreach program. Throughout the year we, as an organization, are able to positively impact our community by offering our time and efforts to various charitable causes.

Big Brothers Big Sisters Backpack Drive

Continuing to positively impact our community is a priority of the Community Outreach program. In September, The Holter Financial Group partnered with Big Brothers Big Sisters in an effort to provide backpacks and school supplies to children in need within the Milwaukee area. Over the course of the month, members of our organization donated a total of 104 backpacks filled with numerous school supplies. As the month progressed, the

sight of the mounting collection of donated backpacks waiting in our lobby was uplifting not only to members of our organization but to visitors to our downtown office.

The month-long drive culminated with the opportunity to meet some of the children at a neighboring school and personally deliver the filled backpacks. Brian Selerski and Andrea Zenisek, two individuals instrumental in the success of this drive, are pictured at left with one of the happy recipients. Both Brian and Andrea expressed how rewarding it was to have the opportunity to see the impact of our efforts.

1999 Community Service Award Winner, Steve Voboril

MMLO is a local philanthropic, non-profit, tax-exempt organization dedicated to help the welfare and development of youth in not only the New Berlin area, but the greater Milwaukee area as well. The organization was founded in 1985 when former New Berlin Mayor, John Malone, died of Cancer. There was a serious concern that the marvelous charitable programs under his direction might end too! Len Chappell and a committee of concerned citizens created the MMLO to assist those programs and other charities so John Malone’s spirit of giving would continue.

A $10,000 grant was presented to MMLO on behalf of The Northwestern Mutual Foundation.

Making an Impact on the Community
To grow and prosper, communities require care. It is the work of many hands ... sharing many talents, many hours, and many gifts. In giving their time and their talents, by caring for each other, the members of the community care for the larger enterprise. It is with this concept in mind that the members of The Holter Financial Group spend their time and efforts giving back to the community.
