Highland Park foundation welcomes new Corporate Champion

Highland Park Community Foundation welcomed Banner Kitchen & Bath to the HPCF Corporate Champion Program.

The HPCF Corporate Champion Program, launched in 2020, was created to develop relationships with businesses and build long-term partnerships that will help the HPCF address unmet needs of and expand opportunities for all Highland Park and Highwood residents.

The HPCF awards grants on an annual basis to nonprofits and agencies that provide a wide range of programs and services for the youngest to the oldest members of the community. Donations to the HPCF through its Corporate Champion Program will help ensure the HPCF has the financial resources it needs to support these programs.

"We are beyond grateful for the generous support of Banner Kitchen & Bath," Highland Park Community Foundation Chairman David Reich said.

"Their five-year commitment will provide much-needed financial assistance for over 50 nonprofit organizations and agencies that serve community members."

"Banner Kitchen & Bath welcomes the opportunity to be an HPCF Corporate Champion. As an industry leader for 75 years, we are proud to partner with a charitable organization that shares our commitment to better the lives of individuals in need," said Banner Kitchen & Bath co-partner Gene Hara.

"Banner's mission to support the communities we serve continues to be one of the building blocks of our business."

Banner Kitchen & Bath's partnership with the HPCF, along with the pledges of other "Champions," will result in an improved quality of life for Highland Park and Highwood children, teens, families, and seniors.

Banner's donation and their support of HPCF's mission guarantees unmet needs of the community will be addressed and lives will be enriched.

The HPCF urges all corporations and businesses that are committed to a culture of community support to join its HPCF Corporate Champion Program.
