This year during Baird Gives Back Week, Baird Utica associates donated more than 40 volunteer hours at several local organizations including the Utica Zoo, Feed the Vets and Hope House.

Associates supported these organizations by participating in activities including cleaning the pathways from storm damage, sorting over 3,000 lbs. of food, and cooking and serving meals to the needy.

“At Baird, giving back is more than a tradition—it’s a core part of our culture,” said Eric Pronovost, Branch Manager of Baird’s Utica office. “Baird Gives Back Week exemplifies our commitment to the communities where we live and work and our belief that strong communities are built through shared purpose and service.”

Baird Gives Back Week gives associates opportunities to volunteer at charitable organizations, reflecting the firm’s core tenet of community-giving. This year, nearly 2,000 Baird associates, friends and family members volunteered at more than 200 charitable organizations across the firm’s global footprint, donating more than 6,000 hours.
