Baird Trust Gives Back in 2023

At Baird Trust, we take great pride in giving back to the communities where we live and work. We support a wide variety of nonprofits, and even ensure that we work with groups that our associates devote their personal time to so we can see firsthand the difference we’re helping to make. Recently, we worked with five admirable organizations:

Make a Wish

This August, several Baird Trust associates traveled to Jeffersonville, Indiana, to surprise nine-year-old Braxton with a video gaming system, set-up and games, fulfilling his ‘make a wish.’ And after a resilient fight against cancer, Braxton was recently declared cancer-free!

Home of the Innocents:

Our associates assisted with an exterior cleanup of the property by weeding, trimming branches, picking up debris and mulching, aiding in the home’s pursuit to enrich the lives of children and families with hope, health and happiness.

Dare to Care

A food bank whose mission is to lead the community to feed the hungry and conquer the cycle of need, our associates helped prepare meals to feed all community members, from children to seniors.

Cave Hill and Zachary Taylor

Prior to Memorial Day, Baird Trust associates went to the local Cave Hill and Zachary Taylor cemeteries to lay flags honoring thousands of America’s veterans. At Cave Hill, volunteers and their families were able to lay over 7,000 flags in under an hour.
